Tonnes of PVC stored alongside houses MFRS say this is “Low Risk”
Cardboard stored next to gas canisters MFRS say this is “Low Risk”
3rd World country? No it’s N&P Windows in the 21st Century.
MFRS assess this as “Low Risk” Site 2. 3rd world rubbish tip? No, it’s N&P in the 21st Century
‘Low Risk Site’ 1
Storing old toilets
Gas canister stored next to rubbish MFRS assess this as “Low Risk”
N&P Windows is a factory that stores tonnes of PVC in a residential area directly adjacent to a toddlers house and opposite a busy Post Office.
Storing gas cannisters next to a rubbish skip which is next to bales of plastic wrapping which is next to god knows what else isn’t my idea of a safe working environment. Especially when you realise that if this PVC was to burn the resulting dioxin rich cloud would poison everyone who had the misfortune to be downwind. The man who assessed the storage of unrestrained gas canisters is now claiming to be working for the Office of Nuclear Regulation. This is made all the more worrying by the refusal of MFRS to investigate his staggering assessment.
You might think that it would be impossible for this to happen in a residential area, but this insane situation is terrifyingly real. Gas cannisters are stored in the sun alongside a skip, vans are reversing seven days a week into this area, the inevitable is waiting to happen.
These skips are filled three times per week, fifty weeks a year. They are filled with filthy rubbish from wherever N&P Windows have been working. That means, old toilets, bathtubs, garden waste, plastic of unknown origins, bricks, plenty of broken glass, cardboard, kitchen cabinets, in short, any old crap that they fancy dumping in this road. Don’t forget this filth is being dumped in a residential area, 188 Wallasey Road is a rubbish dump.
Strange things “low risk site No. 1 and 2”. These two photographs were taken 30 days apart. Each were taken on the day of an inspection by a local Fire Safety Officer. He said the site had shown considerable improvement over the 30 days and this was a ‘low risk site’. Well that’s amazing, when was the law changed to allow stored Gas Cannisters next to reversing vehicles?
If you are looking for competitively priced suppliers I have used Doorstore for doors and windows several times and found them extremely good value and totally reliable . I have had good reports from UltraSeal and FourSeasons too. Looking for supplies https://www.gap.uk.com/order-online There really isn’t any need to use this company, alternatives are out there. In fact, until they move back to an industrial estate just anyone other than this mob.
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.

This lorry arrived at 11-11-2014 07.00 and parked over the zig-zag lines of the pedestrian crossing until 07.46. That’s 45 minutes on a blind bend, outside a Post Office, on a yellow line and on the zig-zags.
11-11-2014 This Synseal arrived at 07.00 and parked over the zig-zag lines of the pedestrian crossing until 07.46. That’s 45 minutes on a blind bend, outside a Post Office, on a yellow line and on the zig-zags.
11-11-2014 07.14 Q. Why would a lorry be parked zig-zag lines? A. Because it’s delivering to N&P Windows, a factory in a residential area. Q. Why do they think they can illegally park for 45 minutes? A. Because attending Police Officers have refused to stop it. This happened every week until action by the HSE in January 2016
11.11.2014 at 07.00 BK11 WHD a lorry with Synseal markings simultaneously parked on Yellow and Pedestrian Zig-Zag Lines. 15 minutes later I reported it to 101. The lorry remained there until 07.46, a Police car drove past one hour after the initial report at 08.16
So despite being informed of a clear breach of The Law and a serious hazard to public safety Manor Road Police Station took an hour to respond. Manor Road Police Station is less than a mile a way. But this is exactly the same response that we have had for ten years. As far as I know, in the past ten years, Manor Road Police Station has never issued a single fine to N&P or Synseal for obstruction. Not even when a Synseal lorry was parked for 90 minutes on this Yellow Line.
But this is repeated very week. Wirral Borough Council and the Police are well aware of this dangerous parking, but seemingly have deliberately chosen to not enforce The Law.
I am confident that if you or I parked every Tuesday around 07.00 on a yellow line, on a blind bend, outside a Post Office for up to (and sometimes over) an hour we would be prevented from doing so.
It looks like some people can break the law. Every week a Synseal lorry will arrive sometime between 05.30 and 07.30 and park on a Yellow line, on a blind curve, outside the Post Office on the junction of Rugby and Wallasey Road whilst it delivers to N&P Windows. Over many months Manor Road Police Station and Wirral Borough Council have been repeatedly informed of this and the associated dangerous work practises (separate post still in preparation). But apparently with official sanction these companies continue to operate without a care in the world.
This is happening because N&P Windows are using Wallasey Road and Rugby Road as a loading bay for their factory. The factory that should be on an industrial estate. We are being deliberately endangered for the directors profits, and it looks like they have official collusion.
This triptych shows how far a vehicle has to drive out of Rugby Road before it can see the oncoming traffic
6 metre lengths of PVC being delivered to the N&P factory. How many Health and Safety Violations can you see?
This is from youtube
Seemingly the general public need hard hat and safety boots just to visit the local Post Office.
This lengthy (4.28), three part, silent video shows what appears to be the negligent work practises of two companies. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_of_…) N&P Windows, Wallasey and their supplier Synseal.
11/11/2014 at 07.00 a Synseal lorry (BK11 WHD) is parked on a Zig-Zag and Yellow line for over 45 minutes whilst unloading into N&P Windows, Wallasey.
Wirral Borough Councill, Police and HSE, Local Councillors and our MP all have been advised innumerable times of this public danger, this is not a one off event,and that it happens every week, it persists with full knowledge of the local authorities. Local officialdom turns a blind eye to ensure Hardman’s profits. Wirral Borough Council and Manor Road Police Station have repeatedly refused to take preventative or corrective action to prevent the dangers presented by this factory.
This event was recorded on 11 November 2014. The Synseal lorry (BK11 WHD) arrived at 07.00 and left at 07.46. The local Police (Manor Road Police Station Wallasey) were informed at 07.16 that a lorry was parked on zig-zag and yellow line, outside a newsagents/Post Office, on a blind bend, on a busy road and was likely to be there for another 30 minutes. They were advised (for the umpteenth time) that the factory, N&P Windows, Wallasey was dangerously using Rugby Road and Wallasey Road as an extension of their factory and treating it as a loading bay.
One hour after the initial call a Police car drove past at 08.16.
Manor Road Police station is 0.8 miles away.
25-11-2014 N&P Windows Ltd, Wallasey continue to use a residential street as an extension and loading bay for their factory.
This video is showing a lorry being unloaded into N&P’s factory. The lorry BK11 WHD belongs to Synseal. Synseal lorries invariably park on the yellow line, on the blind bend, outside the Post Office in this residential area whilst it is being unloaded. For a short while the driver also assisted in the unloading.
Unloading took from 06.10 to 07.56.
The Police were again advised (06.34) and again failed to act in the following 80+ minutes.
A video in two sections.
Dangerous and out of control delivery of 20ft lengths of PVC into a factory that is located in a residential area. Located alongside families and local shops. Then we can see the actions of the factory workers as they use the road and pavement as an extended loading bay for the factory. Finally an example of the danger this factories vehicles present to schoolchildren.

On the face of it nothing very significant. Just a white van with two worn tyres.
V376 EET had its N&P branding removed a couple of months ago. Since that date it has been daily driven, as far as I can tell, solely by staff members of N&P Windows

Many people have noted that the Police have been noticeably absent for the past ten years. If the Police had enforced The Law this factory would have moved on many years ago. I have had correspondence with ‘officialdom’ for many years, including but not exclusively, Police, WBC, HSE, Councillors, front bench MP’s of both parties and my dog. So in the light of the publicity surrounding this public nuisance factory I wondered if Manor Road Police station had turned over a new leaf.
Taking the above photographs to Manor Road Police Station at 17.55 on 22/9/14 I advised the man on the desk of the situation. Worryingly and not as a question he advised me ” You know who this vehicle belongs to ” When I asked for an incident/log number, I was refused one. I pointed out that Manor Road Police station has a disgraceful record of failure to prosecute N&P Windows despite apparently having several thousand opportunities to do so. He closed the book that he had recorded the incident in and said ‘He would deal with it’, I expressed my doubt and said that I would be surprised if anything happened.
Six hours later I decided to directly email Inspector Peter Kolokotroni, the Merseyside PCC and another Police Officer, I sent the above photographs and my account of the reporting incident. I repeated my concerns about the past performance of Manor Road Police Station and how they had failed to enforce the law for over ten years.

Moving on a fortnight and one of the tyres had gone beyond worn and was threadbare. With full knowledge of the Police this commercial vehicle had been driving around Wallasey in rain soaked conditions with worn/threadbare tyres.
Another example of how N&P Windows are prepared to endanger themselves and the public for their own profits.
Regrettably The Police are not delivering even Basic, Day 1, Kindergarten levels of service.

We are requesting Wirral Borough Council to require: N&P Windows, 188 Wallasey Road, Wallasey, CH44 2AG to move all manufacturing and waste storage from 188 Wallasey Road to an industrial estate.
Plain and simple, factories should be on an industrial estate and this one is no exception. N&P came from an industrial estate and it was the choice of its owners to manufacture alongside family homes. With an estimated annual income of £1,800,000.00 the owners of N&P understandably choose to live far away from their filth and disruption.
But N&P Windows, Wallasey are a filthy industrial rubbish tip with a factory that threatens your health, pollutes and obstructs our roads and pavements, and operates noisily from 06.00hrs.
If this mismanaged yard catches fire it will release carcinogenic, dioxin rich smoke clouds from tonnes of stored PVC.
When they or their suppliers vans block the road, if you are lucky they will only make you late for work, unlucky and the emergency services will be delayed.
When they or their suppliers block the pavement, you or your children are forced to walk into oncoming traffic. Disabled pedestrians must wait.
The owners of N&P Windows have consistently allowed their vans to obstruct and their waste to escape for ten years. This is a disgracefully mis-managed site.
How many families can be poisoned by N&P’s tonnes of stored PVC?
When burned PVC releases carcinogenic dioxins, these do not kill immediately but long-term exposure is linked to impairment of the immune system, the developing nervous system, the endocrine system and reproductive functions.
(http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs225/en/)
We are endangered because the owners of N&P chose to move from an industrial estate and install their factory alongside family homes. The presence of this factory, service traffic, and associated raw and waste materials is entirely inappropriate for a residential area and endangers us all.
Wirral Borough Council can resolve this situation, only if we make our voice heard. This week we have seen Police monitoring, but more votes are needed to stir our council into action.

We have two cars and over a nine month period they have been damaged three times by ‘hit and run drivers’ whilst parked within 10m of my home and N&P Windows.
More importantly we have had in a twelve week period four screws in three tyres. Three of these in two tyres on my wife’s car. One of these was screwed into the tyre sidewall.
The repair man remarked how it wouldn’t have happened accidentally.
Feb 14 2014
Well, another screw has appeared in my wife’s car, again very close to the edge. This nail has been placed into one of the manufacturing features of the tyre. This number of nails is way beyond any coincidence. This matter has been reported to the police.
Feb 19 2014
Well this is getting to be a bit of a habit. Two days ago I found yet another screw, this time in one of my tyres. This screw was covered by a rubbery layer to conceal its presence. If you look to the right of the screw you can see what appears to be the first attempt to insert this spike. The other remarkable coincidence is that these spikes are always found on the outer edge of the tyre.
7 May 2014
Another day another coincidence.
There appears to be powdery marks from the chuck of an electric drill around the screw, also marks in the rubber as the screw was screwed in and out again.
28th November 2014
When Private Policing came to Wallasey?
On Friday 28th November 2014 the Police arrived with blue flashing lights because of a problem with N&P Windows Ltd, Wallasey and how they are using Rugby Road as a loading bay and subsequently forcing pedestrians into the street. Inspector Koloktroni and Constable Hornby have said that N&P Windows have had all their warnings and each and every time they obstruct the walkway they will be ticketed.
On 28th November 2014 an N&P van was obstructing the walkway. I attempted to keep it there until the Police could come and enforce the Law.
I have previously experienced that when N&P rang, Police would appear like magic. So I did not call the police and just walked away. Even when there is danger when residents call the usual response time is 60 minutes, Someone rang the Police at 14.52 because one of N&P’s vehicles was partially blocked in, behold, nine minutes later at 15.01 a Police car with blue lights flashing charged into Rugby Road. It takes about three minutes to report an incident. A six minute response time, 10x faster. Looks like some people have a personal Police service that comes at their beckoning. The rest of us have to wait an hour or ten years.
I was very surprised when one of the officers, after she had spoken with Mr Hardman, accused me of wanting to close down his business. That is an absolute lie. I corrected her and informed her that I wanted this factory to relocate to an industrial estate. Reading this blog and the Petition document that fact. I view this factory as a danger for residents, pedestrians and road users. There is only one suitable place for a factory and that is on an industrial estate, where all its activities will be at a safe distance from the less able.
On 2 December 2014 at 10.31 I made a Freedom of Information Request to Merseyside Police, I requested:
1 Log Number of the Incident
2 Transcript of the call to the Police
3 A copy of the audio recording of the telephone call made to the Police
4 Exact time of the incident
5 The Police records of this incident
at 12.39 also on 2 December 2014 all my requests for information were refused.
30th November 2014
There is always a price to pay
36 hours after the above incident we coincidently found two nails in one of the tyres of my wifes car.
I regard these events as attacks, chance went out of the window a long time ago, and attempted murder and report them as such.
This particular homicidal maniac uses, screws, nails, mastic and dust covered drill chucks. Hmmm, who could that possibly be?
If only the Police had something to go on, some sort of a clue.
You can see that this is an ongoing problem. Some homicidal individual(s) seemingly attempting to kill myself and my wife. By coincidence both this incident and the 7th May 2014 event were dealt with by the same officer. 7th May 2014 he visited and then refused to record it as attempted murder saying that I could have just driven over it, conveniently ignoring the evidence of the dusty chuck marks.
On 1st December 2014 at 13.00ish I took this tyre to Manor Road Police Station to report the 30th Nov 2014 incident. Manor Road being shut on Sunday 30th. I have been advised (Feb 2014) that in order for evidence to be taken it must be still in place. Initially the officer took an interest, but after talking with others his attitude changed and he said “I am not taking any report from you regarding that mate” The officer repeatedly refused to produce or give me a log number for this incident.
I asked if he would pass on the details of this incident to Inspector Kolokotroni or the officer investigating these attacks. He said he would not. So here we have an officer refusing to log details of the latest incident of a long line of attempted murders and refusing to pass on the details of these attempted murders to his station commander and the investigating officer.
Following this incident I placed a complaint with the IPCC. Following the installation of security cameras we had no more attacks. After Kolokotroni left Manor Road Police Station N&P stopped parking across the pavement.
Just a few of the screws that mysteriously found there way into our tyres. Averaging one a month for eleven months. Suspicious eh?
