Name: admin NEWS FLASH 19/10/07 Comment: WE ARE HAPPY TO CONFIRM THAT FLAVOURFRESH SALADS ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE THREE OWLS BIRD SANCTUARY TO PLAN A PERMANENT PROTECTED HABITAT AND RELEASE SITE ON THE FRONT (ROAD) SIDE OF THE FIELD
Name: admin Comment: GOOD NEWS FROM FLAVOUFRESH !!they are now in the process of putting together plans for a scaled down plan which would leave room for wildlife and a release site for the owls, thankyou
Name: admin Comment: in the interests of fairness we must point out they intend to grow the organic toms in the soil- its the rest of their operation that is hydroponic ,but the last contributor deos raise some very interesting points,particularly if the organic experiment were to fail and they go back to hydroponics
Name: another anon Comment: Comment: I\'m no expert on the topic, but it seems obvious that growing anything in neat fertilser dissolved in water does not produce what can be considered organic in the sense used to infer sustainable and natural production of food from the land. Using hydroponic methods, the roots are immersed in neat inorganic chemicals instead of soil. It seems to me that Marks and Spencer are abusing the organic lable by purchasing from suppliers willing to take advantage of customers who are not aware of the true nature of hydroponic factory farming. The nutrient liquid is a mixture of factory refined chemicals. This has to be circulated and then discharged as effluent which must also be high in nitrogen and other growth producing chemicals. Whilst such effluent can be treated, the cheapest treatment is not to remove undesirable pollutants but to simply flush clean water away so that exactly the same pollutant is discharged in a greater volume of water which then satisfies the discharge consent issued by the local water authority. The fertiliser in this so called organic method is little different from that used in non-organic farming. It produces weeds which clog waterways and sometimes other products mimicing human hormones which find their way into our drinking water. I have seen nothing in either the discusion or the planning application which indicates that this topic has been properly examined.
Name: anon Comment: never mind the carbon dioxide debate, what about nitrogen disposal in waste water? it needs looking into.
Name: admin Comment: Good News.We can confirm that someone living out of the village has put an offer in for the field to Flavourfresh Salads, and that the offer is well in excess of the average land price.He wishes to remain anonymous saying he 'wants to keep the field for the benefit of wildlife'
Name: anon suggestion Comment: have you thought of the pollution aspect? a usefull contact would be Andrew Hill Environmental Protection Manager West Lancashire District Council
Name: Pat Davidson Comment: Its about get rich quick as usual,then when they go bust again who will take the greenhouses down?
Name: admin Comment: coming soon new page on the bats .
Name: another local resident Comment: That fellow should have walked a bit further and see the Melrow site on Rydings lane -its just a factory to look at, not what i'd call a farm.lets stick with potatoes and wheat.
Name: mr F Thomas Comment: Sadly it causes more C02 to grow tomatoes in Banks than in Spain -even with the transport ,by about 100 fold because of the ammount of gas burnt to heat the greenhouses and the Co2 they pump in to increase yields,also organic tomatoes are 30 % worse still because of low yields .Living so near the sea Global warming should worry us more than most!!
Name: local resident Comment: Although fields of horses may look prettier than greenhouses in this context they represent a modern luxury hobby and cannot take precedence on productive land. Also with regards to C02, would you rather M&S imported tomatoes from abroad adding carbon miles and not stimulating the U.K\'s shrinking agricultural revenues? I cannot understand why local residents would not be proud to see their tomatoes in national stores?
Name: Mrs Pat X Comment: JUST DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT PUTTING GREENHOUSES THERE!
Name: Mr B Dart Comment: Well done for trying,so much Greenbelt is being lost for ever.Have you thought of involving Natural England ? its probably the Government Team you need to contact.
Name: SHOCKED ONLOOKER Comment: I HAVE NOT BEEN ON HERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND HAVE JUST BEEN READING SOME OF THE POSTS AND I AM ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDED BY SOME OF THE COMMENTS ON HERE IT SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED INTO A CHILDISH AND PATHETIC ROWPEOPLE NEED TO EITHER GROW UP KNOW WHAT THERE TALKING ABOUT LIVE IN THE AREA IN QUESTION OR KEEP QUIET!!!!
Name: Mrs S Martin Comment: I have today written to the Planning Officer to reject the planning application, it\'s huge, intrusive and not the best use for the land.
Name: Mr F Thomas Comment: Yes maybe- but the main point is its 30% worse for the planet to grow organic tomatoes!The housewife is being fooled.There is nothing wrong with ordinary tomatoes We (and Marks and Spencers )should stick to field grown organics not glasshouse organics -which are a waste of gas.
Name: D Ball Comment: Comment: Your Co2 organic tomato statistics are very misleading. Southern Spanish crops do not yield in our summers due to the excessive heat there. Any crop that uses no added heat eg carrots will quite obviously use many hundreds of multiples less CO2 to produce a crop.
Name: admin Comment: an interesting debate ,there was something mentioned by the Telegraph about a DEFRA study on organic crops and the environment- has anyone got details ?
Name: Mr F Thomas Comment: According to The Independant.19/02/07 Organic tomatoes grown in heated UK greenhouses generate one hundred times the amount of Co2 per kilogram produced in unheated greenhouses in southern Spain.
Name: organic tomato lover Comment: I love organic tomatoes and I particularly like english organic tomatoes. I\'m sure M&S have very robust policies and grower standards that take into account biodiversity and the environment. I dont think that field would exist if it was not for the conversion process - maybe you would prefer another ploughed up black field with mono-culture lettuce on it! I for one want to buy english grown organic tomatoes from down the road rather than an anonymous dutch grower! I Support british tomatoes and I\'m sure this tomato grower supports the local economy!
Name: angry Lil Person Comment: Have not read all comments but one thing i will say is, if any of you, like i do, live on the main roads thru the village, our houses already shudder when these humongous wagons thunder past, coz believe me they do not travel at a sedate or safe speed most of the time, the last thing we need is more!! And this proposal will sure as hell herald a severe increase in traffic
Name: Stephen Dawson Comment: there is already a large amount of heavy goods wagons driving through the village more would only heighten the risk of pedestrians being knocked down. another habitat from the already dwindling numbers of birds and animals gone forever
Name: born and bread Comment: Comment: people who do not understand farming should keep out of it, is it an eye sore ? or or is it people from towns trying to have a say which they dont understand. should we just buy from abroad
Name: admin- news flash Comment: specialist bat survey last night discovered the field supports a colony of the rare whiskered bat !!All British Bats are protected nationally by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and under Schedule 2 of the Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc.) Regulations, 1994. All species are included in the EC Habitats and Species Directive 1992.
Name: Razmur Comment: I,ve got a massey furg tractur we could do up and drive down lord street with me trailor on back o it you could all jump on and wave sum flags
Name: GRUMPY OLD MAN Comment: WHATS THIS CO2 NONSENCE NO ONES INTERESTED YOU HAVE MISSED THE POINT.MARKS AND SPENCER .THEY WONT WANT A LOT OF FUSS WHY NOT DO A 'MARCH ON MARKS' WITH PLACARDS.THE SOUTHPORT BRANCH IS BEING DONE UP -GET THE PAPERS INVOLVED
Name: admin Comment: There are over 520 signitures on the petition now- thankyou ++ ,could we have any sheets folk still have back as we need them for next weeks meeting. have ordered more of the laminated signs.
Name: admin Comment: Comment: a more important debate is the overall energy taken to grow organic tomatoes ,its high because of low yields and the heating .will have more info soon
Name: dave Comment: it would depend where the carbon dioxide came from in the first place
Name: admin Comment: the co2 debate is an interesting one,it may not be as damaging as it at first sounds as the Co2 may be a reclamed by product of other industrial proceses
Name: mrs v green Comment: a well organised site good luck

Name: joker Comment: if you had a photo you could caption it 'greenhouse gases being delivered to the greenhouse' !!!
Name: N A Comment: anon, I believe Melrose is a place in Scotland, however Melrow is one of the Flavourfresh nurseries
Name: anon Comment: in fact when i look at your photos there is a white co2 storage tank in the photo of the melrose site !!it needs regular top ups
Name: anon Comment: the carbon dioxide is delivered by huge white tankers will try and get you a photo for the websit
Name: concerned observers Comment: Thank you ADMIN for reminding us about some of the serious issues.We agree that the proposal is TOO BIG,TOO NEAR THE ROAD,NEEDS CO2& BURNS GAS.ALSO there is more than enough damage when cars hit garden walls-how much worse will it be when they crash into large trucks?
Name: joe bloggs Comment: pure NIMBYism! i wonder is Dr Unwin would be so bothered if he did not overlook the proposed new glass house!
Name: Mr F Thomas Comment: YOU MAY HAVE A GOOD POINT I HAVE SEEN TANKERS MANY A TIME AND ITS NOT GAS THEY DELIVER AS FLAVOURFRESH ARE ON NORTH SEA GAS SO IT COULD BE CARBON DIOXIDE
Name: anon Comment: Re carbon dioxide I think its flavoufresh's weak point.I think you will find its delivered regularly by tanker as all locals know and the government are red hot on it after all that flooding
Name: goodtobegreen Comment: I am an English country girl,born and bred in this sadly diminishing green and pleasant land!
Name: Razmur Comment: I think Rippers damn right. you know when I were a lad they were all fields round ere. now what d you see, greenhouses everywhere and its all because towny folk want their salads, people like goodtobgreen, what sort o poncy name is that and ecoman, bloody tomatoe munchers, proper men in my day ate a real mans breakfast.your all turnin into women nowadays -- it's in the water, or t' tomatus
Name: goodtobegreen Comment: ecoboy talks in words I can comprehend unlike nob head
Name: RIPPER Comment: NO, NO, NO Ecoboy, you have missed the point, firstly the vast majority of marsh land has been reclaimed for the use of farmers, take the GB Crook reclaimed land as a good example at hundred end where vast areas of hesketh bank marsh were reclaimed to grow crops. Secondly, There are five purposes of including land in Green Belts: To check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas To prevent neighbouring towns from merging into one another To assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment To preserve the setting and special character of historic towns To assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land. Third point, a lot of locals work hard to live in a rural area then have their investments ruined by developments like this. Forget the owls they can fly away but local residents often can't due to costs involved. P.S I am not a local !
Name: Ecoboy Comment: Ripper, you have missed the point on the jobs issue. The reason Mr and Mrs Ivanchaviech will work there is because they do not get paid by their state to sit around in front of the PC all day like the 'locals' in this country. Incidentally, Greenbelt land only occurs around significant urban areas to stem development. Banks is certainly not a significant urban development! And lets not forget that this land is reclaimed thus making it more unatural than any other aspect of the English countryside.
Name: RIPPER Comment: Lets face it, this will be passed due to the huge sums of money involved and west lancs councils lack of interest in the local people's voice. Farmers get fatter, locals get poorer, (due to property devaluation) and West lancs get their back hander -- take a look at recent applications they have passed in hesketh bank for example, the reality is they don't care about any increase in HGV traffic in the villages of west Lancs. Oh and to the muppets who say there will be more local jobs- who for? Mr and Mrs Ivanchaviech, who are exploited below the national minimum wage because no local people would spend 14 hours a day in the stinking hot greenhouses
Name: goodtobegreen Comment: Far from being wasteland, as somebody has suggested,the proposed site for GIANT greenhouses currently has horses grazing on it and is appreciated not only by local people but by many visitors and commuters.
Name: goodtobegreen Comment: I've just heard that they dont use ladders to pick tomatoes-clearly there is a more sophisticated system than the stilts used in the past-come on tell us the full facts please
Name: Pat Davidson Comment: so its all about never mind the village- so long as Marks and Spencer can build a huge factory greenhouse out of all proportion to the surroundings and a few folk can get rich quick
Name: Pat Davidson Comment: so its all about never mind the village- so long as Marks and Spencer can build a huge factory greenhouse out of all proportion to the surroundings and a few folk can get rich quick
Name: moaning minnie Comment: no its not waste land its Green Belt protected by law
Name: Mr F. Thomas Comment: Thankyou to the last 2 contributors who sum up Flavoufresh's points so clearly and your feelings for our village and people.
Name: Tony Owl Comment: The small minority of whinge bags on here have lived a very shelted life which is only exspected of the people of banks and in the eyes of the owl have no real values for complaint.....They know jack spit.... about the Co2 omissions and as for me the owl....theres more chance of me loosing a wing or tail feather flying by the clay shooting down the dib!!!! The whole reason for a campaign is rubbish SAVE THE FIELD - BUILD A GREENHOUSE!! Love Tony Owl
Name: Comment: Just had a look at the intended plans for these greenhouses whats the problem the area they are going to build is wasteland anyway!! I say get them built asap and get all u moaning minnies workin there they will need the extra staff plus who would want to go to Banks anyway its a S***hole
Name: Mark Comment: Get a grip! let them build them! if you don't like it don't look at it. THINK THE FARMS WERE THERE BEFORE YOUR HOUSE!! you live in a farming area and if thats what farmers need so be it. Find somethin else to complain about u green peace pansy's!!
Name: Mrs R. Baldwin Comment: I like to see the owls but I,m more worried about the look of the development so near the main road,it sounds huge.
Name: Owl Comment: I think that this whole campaign for saving the feild and the owls is more a campaign for saving the value of the properties that are situated near by!
Name: Mr F Charles Comment: I think the whole owl issue is a red herring, for me its more about is this a good use of Green Belt land?,protected- so that future generations can enjoy open land at the edges of our villages and towns.No one can claim that a building 144 yards(thats yards, not feet!)by 115 yards and 17 foot high is part of an 'open ' space
Name: Comment: Just get them built already i need lots of tomatoes
Name: Billy R Comment: Yes,those alders have been in 20 years and still dont screen those old greenhouses on Marsh road.I wonder how long till a useful screen could be grown up to hide double decker greenhouses? I quite accept Flavoufresh Salads are there to grow tomatoes but the sheer extent of it is wrong for the area,if we let them get away with this -where next ?
Name: Sue Ball Comment: Quite apart from the habitat arguments your stronger points are that its just too big ,Flavourfresh are being too greedy this time .Also go and look at how they have cared for the Melrose site On Rydings lane or the state of the 'screening' on Marsh Road.
Name: T Jones Comment: The point is the proposed building is just too high too extensive,It,s a joke- as big as a Tescoes it will make Banks look as if its part of an industrial estate
Name: Eco-boy Comment: Is reclaimed land a 'natural habitat'? Shall we ask all the marsh dwelling species that lost their home years ago if they would be happy to see it being used for owls to live on? Now the marsh has been ruined (i.e. drained) we might as well use it for something useful!! I think that this site might be using a poor environmental argument to object to a sound proposal just to provide a bored house-wife/house-husband/pensioner/layabout (delete as applicable) with something to occupy their dull little lives. I think there are a few more pressing issues that could do with some attention, anyone heard of Darfur?
Name: Yorkie Comment: We already IMPORT over 80 % of our Tomatoes, so great lets try and stop a local business growing more local food and reducing food miles further - has the world gone mad - are you allowed to set a campaigning website up from the asylum ?!
Name: L.M Comment: I KNOW LETS NOT BUILD A GREENHOUSE IN BANKS AND INSTEAD BUILD ANOTHER IN SPAIN/ISREAL WHEREVER AND INCREASE THE CARBON FOOTPRINT BY TRANSPORTING YOUR WEEKLY SHOPPING FROM THERE INSTEAD. GREAT IDEA NOT!!! ITS NOT GOING TO DRASTICLEY TRANSFORM BANKS INTO A FACTORY AND ONLY A HANDFUL OF PROPERTIES WILL EVEN BE ABLE TO SEE IT. SUPPORT THE BRITISH ECONOMY! SAVE THE PLANET!
Name: MR TWIT TWOO Comment: I would like to speak for myself as everyone is all too keen to speak for me. I personally have no objection to the new greenhouses being erected as I have been recently looking for a new place to stay mrs Twoo keeps getting on my case that this place is too small anyway therefore this would be the perfect opportunity for me to get off my fluffy arse and have a look. We also find that there is a major lack of comfortable seating around these areas so a few more greenhouses would be greatly appreciated. On a more serious note I would like to say that open country roads are one of the biggest owl killers as owls naturally swoop over them looking for road kill to eat and often being hit by vehicles usally fatally injuring the owl. A greenhouse would therefore stop us owls swooping down and dying. The greenhouse would act like a barn does only people dont petition against barns being erected.
Name: Truck Driver Comment: Of course M&S can use the same trucks if we make more frequent trips otherwise bigger trucks to add to the traffic problem
Name: goodtobe green Comment: Alternative sites are available. PLEASE improve these don't abuse Banks land.
Name: Comment: CARBON DIOXIDE.. Do you heat your homes in winter ? if so where does the "flue Gases" go ?? Direct into the atmoshphere ??? or are they recycled to produce "British food" ??? Lets buy Imported Co2 rich tomatoes !!! Co2 is a GLOBAL WARMING ISSUE !!!!! Not "MARSH ROAD" Global warming..????? One for the Hypocrites...Any one own a car ?? Run on bio-fuel by any chance ??? Change the tune .........A.R.
Name: Comment: Looks like the new greenhouse will obscure the view of the existing packhouse and greenhouses!
Name: diddly domdom Comment: why campange to save the feild when there just gonna put the greenhouse righ next to your house
Name: Comment: billy is correct, they have a higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the greenhouses to speed growth- most of which will leak out especialy if there is much wind,which is exactly why they have to keep pumping more in .I wouldn't be surprised if they werent forced to actually buy Co2 in at times, especially when they arn't heating as much-though you could burn more gas just to make the co2.I expect they do which ever is cheaper.either way it makes a mockery of the odd eco lightbulb
Name: Paul Comment: I have seen the long awaited plans on the council website, massive wall of factory glasshouses right upto Marsh road, you need to allert The Council for The Protection Of Rural England and fast, its make cash now and sod the future yet again
Name: Billy R Comment: Regarding Carbon Dioxide,you must think Banks folk simple,Flavoufresh are huge buyers and burners of natural gas- producing vast quanteties of CO2- only a tiny proportion of which ends up in your tomatoes Chis,the rest leaks out of the greenhouse or goes into the green parts of the plant,which when they rot release their Co2
Name: Doris the horse Comment: As a local resident I would much rather hear some owls twit twooing all night than Dobbin farting all night. Your local nimby horse. Doris xx
Name: Chris Comment: With reference to the comment regarding the CO2 on the tomatoes, the Co2 used on tomato crops is in fact a by-product which is absorbed by the crop thus reducing the amount discharged into the atmosphere adding to global warming.
Name: Dave B Comment: Numerous endangered species? Horses and grass.
Name: Sheila Tobin Comment: Sheila Tobin and Leo Tobin would like to sign the petition against the erection of these greenhouses
Name: Comment: yes there is a public footpath running alongside the greenhouse it measures 4ft 6inches from the top bank of the ditch, the greenhouse is 9ft 6inches, so where is the man in the picture stood ? Did not know horses were an endangered species
Name: Ralph's wife Comment: It's a public footpath that runs beside the greenhouses. There is very little in this development that will benefit Banks. The pursuit of profit for a company should not always come before the consideration of environmental and other local issues. I'm sure if the public understood that 'organic' tomatoes were grown in factory style warehouses full of added CO2 on land which was previously prime agricultural soil, supporting numerous endangered species, they would think again about buying them.
Name: Comment: Curbunkle?? Hope you aren't a medical doctor..
Name: Comment: the man in the photo is on flavourfresh land not one metre from ditch
Name: Mark Spencer Comment: I you suggesting there that i work for Flavourfresh, admin which i don't.
Name: Edward Comment: Oh come on, this development proposal will not make the slightest of differences in our area. The main issue is 'boy racers' winging up and down Shore Road. Hopefully the 'alleged' increase in wagons will deter them...or slow them down! Plus, more greenhouses = more work = more employment. Think outside the box people. Vote yes!
Name: DR SIMON TOBIN Comment: These greenhouses are a curbuncle on our landscape. There are far too any of them in Banks already.
Name: Billy R Comment: I understand Flavourfresh wont like this site much,but really why dont they get their own site ,they could call it 'Buldose The Field' or 'More Giant Greenhouses' and see how much support they get
Name: ADMIN Comment: REPLY TO MR SPENCER,NO TRESSPASING TO TAKE PHOTOS TOOK PLACE AS SADLY YOUR MELROSE SITE IS ALL TOO VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD AND YOUR NEW GIANT GREENHOUSES LOOM OVER A PUBLIC FOOTPATH
Name: paul Comment: Ha -so a blot outside the village is ok is it mr spencer
Name: mark spencer Comment: I hope that no trespassing took place to take those photographs, or in the releasing of owls. Is there not a huge field on the other side of the road that could be used to release owls? Have Flavourfresh not significantly reduced the number of lorries required to transport tomatoes by ceasing to grow as many of the large round varieties that require bulkier packaging and weigh considerably more. The greenhouse would not be a blot on the village, because its more than a mile outside the village. I think that the disused, rundown primary school site is ticking the village eyesore box quite nicely by itself.
Name: dave Comment: good one debbie !!
Name: Debbie Comment: For rent - designer box apartment on des. res. tree, suit owl. Call 282820 between midnight and 5 am.
Name: mr G Rimmer Comment: basically would most local people rather live,walk or drive by a field -or acres of factory style green houses which help make a very few people even richer
Name: DAVE Comment: DO LOCAL PEOPLE STILL WORK IN THE LOCAL GREENHOUSES? HALF OF RUSSIA WALKS PAST MY HOUSE EVERYDAY. WHY DON'T THEY BUILD THEM THERE?
Name: man in a van Comment: at last a sensible comment,well done Karen
Name: Karen Comment: Local tomatoes. Local jobs. Whats wrong with that? People would soon be upset if the place shut down!!I'm quite sure the lovely little owls would be intelligent enough to avoid the greenhouses!Has anyone bothered to find out from Flavourfresh if there will actually be 24hour lighting and more lorries? A successful local company employing local people . Nothing wrong with that
Name: PETER Comment: Yes i know what you mean i have seen names on petitions floating around of people that will know nowt about it its a joke!
Name: S HALL Comment: i cant understand the reason for people signing petitions round the village whom dont live anywhere near the area in question
Name: betty Comment: wot about all the workers that will be affected by your plight owls more important than humans now?????????
Name: Comment: big tim but dim wot the hell you on about

Name: joyce venables Comment: i,ve seen the size of those greenhouses behind cyril thompson,s house ,huge +++,definatly more like a factory unit,i will happily write to the council-keep it up
Name: Mr H Green Comment: Re HGV traffic have you thought of involving the council Road Issues Group?,will try and get contact number for you.
Name: nell Comment: jobs in the village banks has allways had greenhoues

Name: Mr B Rimmer Comment: ITs the lorries i,m concerned about,our house shakes when they go by and we,ve a crack in the kitchen wall
Name: Comment: Why do we need to grow our own tomatoes when we can import them from Spain or Holland?
Name: Lisa Christian Comment: what an ugly site to a beautiful rural area,
Name: Miss H Lowe Comment: Atrocious, it won’t be called countryside anymore, instead it will be referred to as “industrial land.” How can we abolish the countryside just like that?
Name: Mrs B Marriott Comment: Unbelievable, the countryside is going industrial!!! Would other “industries” be allowed to do this?
Name: Comment: Sorry about the arrow getting that removed
Name: Dave B Comment: Good point. That's probably why its intended for organic production where the finest soil is necessary.
Name: big tim Comment: whats changed is now they are grown in 6 metre high factory wharehouses that would be better on an industrial estate,ita a poor use of the best soil in lancashire
Name: Dave B Comment: This has been a horticultural region for generations. We all eat tomatoes. What's changed?
Name: Daisy Braithwaite Comment: Such a beautiful field with such beautiful horses in it; it would be such a shame to see it ruined!!!
Name: Gill Thomas Comment: We need to see more green fields not less!
Name: Comment: You cant have that arrow pointing at Peter and Kathryn's kitchen window....!!!
Name: big tim Comment: they call that progress!!and who will clear up the mess when they go bust again?
Name: angry of newlane pace Comment: the last lot of greenhouses were bad enough,its a factory not a farm
Name: Margaret Bacon Comment: Truly an eyesore. My tomatoes grow in a greenhouse that is 8ft. tall. Why do they need such an enormously tall greenhouse ?
Name: david Comment: i thought yesterday went really well-the reporter really took his time getting everyones opinion
