Welcome

This is the new website of Ellesmere Park Residents Association. We hope to keep local residents and members informed of all things going on in the Park. The website is continuously evolving so please bear with us while we try to get everything back in place.

SAY No to Green Lane Incinerator

At the General Meeting of the Association in February 2010 the members were unanimous in its support for the "Say No Campaign".

If individual residents feel strongly against the building of this industrial incinerator close to Ellesmere Park they should consider sending a contribution to the fighting fund.

Here are the details from Monton Village Community Association outlining the next stage of the campaign against the building of the incinerator on Green Lane, Monton. Click here for the poster supplied by MVCA.

APPEAL HEARING 9TH MAY 2012 - Monton House Hotel

EPRA sent a representative along to the 'Say No' Campaign Meeting yesterday which was very well attended and the opposition group is determined with widespread support from each of the political parties locally and from our MP Hazel Blears.

The Inspector at the appeal will take great note of the level of opposition from local people, so it is absolutely vital that as many people as possible turn up on the first and last days at least. The appeal hearing will be at the Monton House Hotel and starts Wednesday 9th May, so please make a note of this in your diary. What is at stake is having an additional 150 HGV's per day in the area and the threat of our air quality being adversely affected by this proposed incinerator plant.

The campaign group need funds to continue and we hope that you will support the following event:

Message from GMP

Here is a message from from Greater Manchester Police to all of our communities via Donna Ainsworth Police Community Support Officer 63308 16/08/2011

Operation Valent Update - Return to Normality Last week saw GMP working together with our partners to respond to extreme levels of violence, sustained disorder and criminality across Manchester and Salford. We wish to thank you for your support.

We have been overwhelmed by the public support for our actions and desire to bring the offenders to justice. The criminal investigation will continue to build in the months ahead, as we have thousands of hours of CCTV to view and the file build process to complete. We will not rest until every investigative opportunity has been exhausted to bring those responsible for bringing shame on the cities of Manchester and Salford are brought to justice. The support GMP has received from other emergency service responders, criminal justice agencies, local authorities, staff associations and the wider partnership network has been nothing short of breathtaking.

You should all be reassured that as part of our normal tasking and coordination process we will continue to provide additional staff in the coming days at both a local and specialist level to Manchester, Salford and the Investigation Response. Be reassured that we have plans in place to escalate the resources quickly should we face further challenges from the disorder.

Once again, thank you for your continued support

Bogus Tree Surgeon

One of our members has alerted us to the activities of a bogus tree surgeon touting for work in Ellesmere Park. He is a young, uniformed and charming chap driving a relatively new green truck ready for taking tree branches away. He tends to come round at the weekends looking for work.

He has been known to take a ‘deposit’ and then not carry out the work. The name and address he has used (Martin from Rochdale) has proved to be false. It is thought he probably borrows the legitimate looking truck at the weekends to make himself look genuine; with the current light nights he is also likely to come round in the evenings.

If you are approached by this young man who offers to do tree lopping / tree removal DON’T part with any prepayment but make a note of his vehicle number and contact PCSO Tony Fletcher on 0161 872 5050. The police are aware of this smooth operator and will immediately follow up any information provided by the public.

If you have already been approached by this person please contact Tony Fletcher so he can build up a picture of his activities in the area.
