Decommission Stanlow Oil Refinery
We don't need Stanlow in our area anymore. It pollutes both the air and water supplies of Liverpool, Manchester, Chester and surrounding areas and has done since 1924. This needs to stop immediately not in 2050. The site would be much better decommissioned, the soil neutralised, with eco-homes, forests and new parks built over it once neutralised.
Why is this important?
This would create hundreds of new green jobs which could see workers transferred whilst Big Oil takes care of the retirement schemes for those of the right age. In time this would redress the social inequality in Halton, the borough next door, which currently has the lowest life expectancy in the United Kingdom. It would also dramatically reduce the pollution of the North West of England's two main cities, as well as the surrounding areas.
