N&P Windows, Wallasey obstructing the road and pavement


January 2016

The Health and Safety Executive have “informed N & P Windows that if HSE receive any further concerns about their premises and unsafe loading then a Prosecution Notice will be served”
N&P Windows Ltd. must not use the public highway or pavements as a loading bay. They must always use a banksman when manoeuvring vehicles about their premises; the banksman must always wear appropriate HiVis clothing.

If you ever (between now and the end of time) witness a breach of these or other H&SE requirements please contact:
concerns.extrainfo@hse.gsi.gov.uk
case reference 4404592,

has been involved in this case.

Don’t put yourself in danger but a photograph or short video could clarify any offence. Naturally the unsafe loading requirement and all other H&SE regulations apply wherever this company or its employees are operating.

Alternatively if you find the path, roadway or your driveway obstructed by any of their vehicles please LOG IT at

This is the only proven way that any problems will be recorded and acted on.


 

In 2003 N&P Windows, Wallasey, moved from an industrial estate to a residential area.

It is as inappropriate today as it ever was, choosing to bring in tonnes of machinery, PVC and numerous vans, cars and pick-ups to an area that is obviously entirely unsuited for industrial manufacture is beyond all logic. Unless their intention was to turn everything they touched into crap. Sadly the actions of N&P Windows Ltd (Wirral) indicate that they are entirely selfish and thoughtless of the continuous disruption and damage that their rubbish tip / factory causes.

Rather than trying to fit in and not cause any noise, pollution, disruption, blocking of the road and pavement, they chose a different path. Blocking the walkways so anyone trying to walk along the pavement is forced into the road and any oncoming traffic. But the traffic wont be too much of a problem as they or their suppliers will just park in the middle of the street and put their hazards on, apparently that’s just fine.

Their filthy factory is directly opposite a sub Post Office, so the people being put at risk here are pensioners, mums with prams, disabled, partially sighted, anyone with a parcel, people in wheelchairs, apparently that doesn’t matter to N&P, into the road with them.

Here are a few choice moments from ten years of disruption.

Of course some times just thoughtless parking can be just as disruptive.  If you know this area you will have seen that this factory is directly opposite a Post Office.  This endangered species is certainly not helped by vans parked outside for days on end.  Again hindering access to a valued public resource.  The people to blame here are the owners of N&P Windows.

N&P Hinder access to the Post Office.   Just another thoughtless and inconsiderate act from the masters of obstruction.   End van is about 10ft from the main road and features an added hazard of the window frame.  Staggeringly thoughtless.
Parked for days, N&P Windows find another way to hinder access to your Post Office. Note that the end van is about 10ft from the main road and features an added hazard of the window frame.  Irresponsibility defined.

My car (not pictured here) has been damaged several times by ‘hit and run’ drivers.  One dent exactly matches up with the window carrying frame of this vehicle MN54 BNL

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Taken on 18/8/2014,  both vehicles (there is a black car in front) belong to residents.  Another example of the ‘couldn’t give a damn about anyone but ourselves’ attitude that typifies this company.

2014-10-09 16.41.03
Dumped for 20+ minutes on 16.40 9/10/14 Staff of N&P again selfishly and dangerously block the pavement.

 

The first question people ask is: ‘how come the Police haven’t sorted this out?  The Police have repeatedly stated that because they change shifts at 08.00 hrs they have not been able to get here on time because they have always had something else to do.  Which is why for ten continuous years Manor Road Police station has failed to ever witness any obstruction or other problem in Rugby Road.

For ten years Manor Road Police Station (1000yds away)  failed to see the same offence, in the same place at the same time every day. 

 

We have also been told, and I have personally confirmed this, that traffic wardens are told to not  patrol Rugby Road.

This factory is a direct threat to the residents of Wallasey.  But operating a recycling storage dump alongside tonnes of stored PVC they hosting everything necessary to host a carcinogenic, toxin laden smoke plume with a potential poisonous load equivalent to a 15-story block of flats.  Think of #Grenfell but at ground level, the smoke would not be originating above us, but at ground level and clinging to homes.

The purpose of this website is to give information supporting a petition to Wirral Borough Council, its intention is to return Rugby Road to an entirely residential area. Not a residential area with an added rubbish tip/factory that threatens our health, pollutes the land, obstructs the road and pavements, threatened pensioners, operates noisily from 06.00hrs, has machinery that is so loud that the operators need ear defenders but N&P leave the doors and windows open so we can all suffer.

The residents have been writing and petitioning for over 13 years.  Quite simply the Council have not stopped N&P Windows Ltd (Wirral) even at the expense of our lives.

  1. Why has no one contacted the HSE or the Environmental Health Dept, the local MP and local councillors? If that has been done, then what was their response?

    1. All of the people that you have mentioned, plus the Police and Wirral Borough Council have been contacted innumerable times. The Police and the Council have been continuously contacted for over ten years.

      In response to this image your councillor replied
      ” Thanks for your email. Looking at the photograph two of the vans are legally parked on the road and the third van is parked on a drive, over a white line and slightly on the road…..that it is for the property owner to report any obstruction as they may well have given permission for a vehicle to be parked there. ”
      This councillor is typical of the response I/we get. Always fishing around for an excuse to do nothing.

      The van was obstructing the walkway, you cannot give permission for that.

      I implore you and anyone else to contact your Councillor, MP, HSE, Fire Brigade, Police about your concerns. Recommend you to get a log number if you contact the Police.

      I am compiling a detailed breakdown of the official inaction over the factory. In the meantime please encourage your contacts to review and hopefully sign the petition. Democracy is the voice of the people, but this council is deaf.
