The golf club has a planning permission dating from 1965, and they stood to make £15-30,000 contracting the tipping out.

Some tipping was done by a dodgy contractor years ago, and the toxins are thought to be still present. They proposed to tip 100,000 tons of material, meaning 5000 lorries over 2 years or more. The site can only be reached via Reddish Vale Rd and residents, councillors and even local MP Andrew Bennett warned it would be a ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER for a Stockport Beauty Spot if we did not stop this horrendous plan, not to mention the lorries and nuisance caused to local residents, several schools, a nursery and a youth club and in addition, the visitors to the Vale - a green belt site.

At a public meeting held in July, about 80 people on a wet Friday night told the two people from the golf club what we would do to them if they went ahead with the plans . We also told them they had not cleaned the site up after unknown materials were tipped back in the 1960s. We made it clear that we would object to any Waste Disposal Licence, and would be contacting the Environment Agency. This put the wind up them, as we had done this before, making them look exceedingly dodgy for not informing the E.A themselves.

Told them to put a metal road down on their land, now play golf across it. That would cost them. Haha not so much profit now! We told them to clean up the 60s site. Then they began to show concern about one or two activists there, and they had to leave. Unfortunately we had no eggs, and who forgot the custard pie? Anyway, since then we have been told that they have changed their minds about tipping on the site.

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
