Sonae Dust pollution: Blowing All over Kirkby
Kirkby Times can report
that only days after being given a clean bill of health, the Sonae
Factory was responsible for massive clouds of dust blowing over
Kirkby in very strong winds. Unfortunately, the video evidence
we have is only 2 seconds long, but it is clearly enough to see
the clouds of dust blowing form the factories Wood Dust Mountains.
Below is a photo of the part of the Sonae plant photographed as the dust cloud blew. Click here for the full sized version of the photo below.
Below is a another Photo taken of a wider angle.
This is not the shadow of the Sonae Chimney smoke, it is dust, vast clouds of it, clearly seen polluting the surrounding area.
The fumes from the factory could be smelt miles away. You can see the full sized version photo here.
Video Evidence
Apologies for the very short video, but you can see from 2 seconds that a cloud of
dust is clearly blowing and polluting Kirkby. Please click on the Sonae Video link below to view this short video.
Look at the end building which is shown on the photo's above for reference point. You can see by the full sized photo's provided that the shadows
are not clouds, and the actual building on the video at the time was being used as a dumping ground by Trucks
delivering the piles of wood dust.

This is evidence that the
recent Sonae Report issued by Knowsley Primary Care Trust was far from sincere. Just as Knowsley Councils pathetic
comment that 'Sonae are not breaking any Laws.' The Law is often an Ass, and if
ever there was reason enough to break it then Sonae give every Working
Class resident in Kirkby reason enough to do so.
Kirkby Times hopes that direct action will be seen now as a sensible solution.
