Just curious really, but does anyone know what it is that’s being built right next to the motorway near Gloucester. Looks like some kind of big factory.
It’s literally right next to the motorway with what looks like a big boiler chimney.
Driven past it a number of times during it’s construction and always wondered what it is.
190,000 tons inward and 9,000 ton of ash to shift away each year - nice contract for someone, keep those big wheels a rollin

this comment from the article made me smile
For eternity. A continual blaze of the unconvertible, Salem without the trial, the Inferno without Purgatory
you have to hand it to those uber lefties
Typical bloody Guardian lefty crap! We’ve got many such things here in DK and a good contribution to the country’s power supply they make. I only became aware of them when delivering baled garbage from the UK and Norway for them to burn. Also noticed the places are immaculate, could eat dinner off the floor in most of them.
I was on the phone to Robroy a month or so ago as I passed it and asked him the same question as I thought that as a South West specialist he’d know the answer. Turns out he not only didn’t but didn’t have a clue what I was talking about! Bloody useless that man.

Can’t believe what an eyesore it is. You see others around, like the one between junctions 9 & 10 on the M40, and they are quite interesting looking buildings, but this one looks horrible.

You know me mate when I’m trucking, , eyes front, laid back in my seat, shades on, looking so ■■■■■■■ cool , and on autopilot, never noticing a bloody thing that does not wear a short skirt…
I only noticed it AFTER you mentioned it.
Btw…why do I feel like I’m having a conversation with myself ?
Just more corporate-■■■■ of our precious,dwindling landscapes,although it’s not technically countryside,i realise,being alongside a motorway i concur,but jesus wept there’s some serious evil afoot these days.The mantra,‘growth’ is often given from these soulless corporate archons to fig-leaf their plunder.Curse them to hell sez i.Like cancer itself this growth is spreading at a hideous rate lately.
Fields that hosted Fox,Badger,Hare and Stoat,are now hosting solar-panels,wind-turbines and soul-destroying masses of 3d-printed,orange-boxes,that offend the eye everywhere you travel.
There’s a serious assault on the national collective soul, with every concrete and plastic land-grab, these greedy ■■■■■■■■ perpetuate.
Hope they burn in hell.

That’s similar…
To complaining about our roads being clogged up with lorries.
The only reason it’s being built is because there’s a need for it. Like it or not, we live on an over-populated planet that’s rapidly filling up with people and the rubbish that we generate. It’s gotta be tackled somehow and nasty big ugly buildings by the side of motorways as much as we don’t like it, are here to stay.
Build something like that next to a residential area with a school and some shops?
Google “Bishop John Hooper”… He was the slow burning bishop of Gloucester.
Read about this chap in a Stuart Maconie book.Damned gruesome way to go,gather he requested more faggots of wood under his armpits to hasten his demise.He didn’t recant either,took it like a man.

There is no shortage of faggots in the woods and laybys around Gloucester that’s for sure.
