Stockport Council News

Other former Jackson’s brickworks in our area had problems. Of no concern to our very complacent LibDem councillors involved though.

A former Jackson’s brickyard with still gassing, rubbish infilled claypits pre 1970 when no records of what was tipped were kept is a “lovely place to build a school” according to now defenestrated LibDem Councillor Mark Weldon.

They suggested planting prickly bushes to keep primary school children away from lethal contamination. To speak out against this ludicrous option was and is “vexatious” according to LibDem councillors.

It was “vexatious” to ask the suspect Stockport LibDems why contamination investigations had not complied with the required British Standard.

GMGU – Greater Manchester Geological Unit was in part funded by Stockport Council.

BS10175 states that contamination investigations must be done on a strict grid pattern. This was not done at the new toxic waste dump primary school site. There were no trial pits dug over the football field, which where the school was going and which was directly over the rubbish in-filled clay pits at the former Jackson’s Brickworks.

The ///////// lines are where the old clay pits were. Directly where the school was going.

TP 5 wasn’t dug at all and the CBR findings are for land stability and not contamination, so no grid pattern at all.


It was “vexatious” to ask the iffy Stockport LibDems why carbon dioxide levels of 14.7%v/v were accepted by them despite their own council guidelines of 0.5%v/v.

Stockport Council’s own guidance on carbon dioxide exposure, (written for a sister site at Midland Road), does not recommend exposure levels above 0.5%v/v. The carbon dioxide levels for the new, still gassing toxic waste dump school were 14.7%v/v.



When I started asking questions about their suspect planning, the LibDems had to try to shut me up.

I asked a question at the Executive Council meeting (all LibDem councillors). Mark Hunter, then Council Leader and John Schulz, Chief Executive, said I had been so rude to a council officer that I may never contact another Stockport Council employee ever again. There was no appeals process and no time limit to this ban.

“Goodness, Sheila, what have you done”, asked excellent Stockport Express reporter Peter Devine. “I have been asking questions about the school”, I replied, “and they don’t like it”.

When I threatened to sue them for defamation – this was said at a public meeting – they backed down completely and had to find another way to shut me up.



You will see from the previous post why the LibDem councillors hated my freedom of information requests -they exposed their dodgy dealing.

The LibDems hadn’t had proper contamination investigations carried out this second time, as there were no investigations on the football pitch, which covered most of the site and was where the new school was going.
