    I hope you don't mind me asking for help here?

    I'm part of a residents' group fighting to save our local 100 year old metal recycling firm. Their landlord wants to evict them in favour of a superstore development.

    The metal recycling firm plan to build a new bio fuel plant creating 200 new jobs, and use their existing rail siding for the additional freight, taking lorries off the road.

    http://www.saverecyclinginshipley.co.uk/

    Planning for the superstore was refused, now the developer has appealed. If the superstore developer succeeds the recycling firm will close with the loss of 100 jobs. There's no suitable site for them elsewhere.

    There will be no metal recycling firm, no bio fuel plant, and no rail freight from this site again if the siding is closed.

    We're not just trying to stop a superstore - a new, rival store development has been approved for an adjacent vacant site. It's just that this particular superstore is in the wrong place, and would be an environmental and economic disaster.

    I don't work for any of the firms involved, I'm just a local resident trying to prevent greed from overcoming common sense ...

    Thank you for reading ...

    Seems like a worthy cause. For what it's worth, I've signed.

    Thank you for the support, much appreciated.

    We've got to wait until September for a decision on the appeal, so fingers crossed the superstore ends up where it won't do as much damage.
