MANY motorists living in Davyhulme and the surrounding areas recently woke to find a layer of dust covering their cars.

The same thing happened a few years ago and that was blamed on another sandstorm blowing in from the Sahara, self-explanatory I suppose.

Well it would have been except for our local paper the Messenger, which first brought it to light that a Carrington industrial plant had a fallout of white powder, which they say was not toxic.

Also adding to the pollution in the Trafford area, ever since the floodgates opened, hundreds of visitors, drawn like a magnet, descend on the Trafford Centre, adding to the already congested roads and creating more traffic pollution, which will do no favours for the hundreds of children who already suffer from asthmatic problems and other chest infections.

To add insult to injury, I see Peel Energy is going ahead with plans to build a biomass-fuelled power station in Davyhulme, even though it is against the wishes of the people.

As history has proven in the past (French Revolution 1789), the government bodies of that era did not listen to the people then and look what happened.
