We Had A Report Of Someone From Greenpeace Walking Up And Down 😲✌🎥🛸❌

- Опубліковано 9 лис 2022
- Today we take a look at What More UK, Altham Business Park, Shorten Brook Way, Altham, Accrington BB5 5YJ.
This is another site which is located at the end of a road so they tend to have less members of the public walking around but this does not mean that standards can slip.
We find, plastic pellets left discarded in many places, trip hazards, forklift use without proper registration and staff who do not take the issues seriously.
They even call the Police with a false report that I am an Activist from Greenpeace.
Enjoy!

It's crazy they have a giant sign saying "zero pellet loss!" that is literally surrounded by pellets. Totally insane.
Yeah that blew my mind. Advertising something that the employees are literally just ignoring. How is that big hose acceptable to the employees? Was strange.
They were not lost, they knew where they were, on the ground, in the drains, in the wildlife.
There is another way to see this:
They indeed do not have pellet loss, they spread them on purpose!
Or would that be an unfair approach?
But the cleaning ‘crew’ clean it every day. If DJ got there at 6pm it would have been spotless 😂
@@jdubbleu1011 Yes, you can see how all the individual pellets had been wiped over and placed back on the ground.
I’m a fisherman and often find plastic in the guts of many species,this makes me very angry to witness. Good job highlighting this wrong doing DJ.
I think it would prefer a pellet in the stomach more than a hook through the mouth to be fair.
@@IPFreely1966 No hooks, all caught in a net, just like security guards.
If ever a company needed a revisit it's this one. I'd be very, VERY interested to see how seriously they and your environmental people deal with this. Excellent discovery DJ. More businesses need to be held accountable. It's not just the number of solar panels they have that go toward the planet's clean-up.
A worthy revisit absolutly, we would all love to see it without the plastic in the drains. I hope the company starts using a better cleanup routine.
Yes, I want to see if they have done anything about it. DJ you need to re-visit this one please.
The police officer did a really good job. Exactly how police should act. Credit to his force.
100%
hmm did he though🤔 He appeared to be understanding but he had no choice considering the state of the place. Also we don't know the content of his conversation with the company, yet what we do know is that the police favourer corporations and business's over the public and are noticeably not usually fond of auditors. 😇
@@Angel-Adramelech My view precisely. Well said
@Red viking he did, very first thing he said. I'm recording as well.
@Angel Adramelech I felt he did, he listened investigated and regardless of what he said to the company, the right action was taken.
This video is the perfect example of why people need to audit these places on industrial estates because allowing plastic pellets to fall onto the floor for wildlife to confuse as food and to fall into the water drainage system can cost these companies fines of over £100,000+ for pollution and endangering wildlife. I also think you should re-visit some of the worst offenders to see if they take note or don't give a shit. And wonder whats goes into the river at the back ??
I work as an environmental health practitioner last 30 years in the safety auditing field.
Look we inspect all. Places but please let us know and we are trained and competent to deal with such issues, a lay person does not have the skills to come up with solutions and understand remedial actions required to tackle safety issues.
For example, you wouldn't get a heart operation from a barber would you..
@@vitalhygiene3546 you'll be passing this on to the relevant authority then won't you.
@@vitalhygiene3546 But everyone including the public as a responsibility to report all Health & Safety or environment issues to the company and it is their responsibility to remedial the issues.
@@vitalhygiene3546 Well actually, yes in Nelson's day the barber was the surgeon too......😁👍
@@vitalhygiene3546 An 'environmental health practitioner' how does that differ from an inspector/investigator? It doesn't require a degree or qualification for a 'lay person' to see and report on those pellets does it?
There's no way they clean the pellet areas daily. Good job DJ 👍
Not a chance
DJ , An Irish long term viewer here , we had a very u fortunate event in which a child went into a dumped fridge and the could not get out with unfortunate fatal consequences, that silo with the open door could lead to a number of very very bad events .
Well done for highlighting these items
I have emailed the relevant authorities
Wow! What More UK exposed! Begin with intimidation to get you to move on but you stood your ground. And the plastic pellets in the water system - bang to rights! This should make the local papers and TV and a massive fine. Brilliant DJ!
DJ, This is a very serious issue with pellets getting into the gullies / water courses, the management of this company want bending over and well and truly shafting. It’s no secret about plastic spoiling our environment and killing our wildlife, I hope your findings really hurts this company. 👏👏👏
If they cant keep pellets that a domestic vacuum cleaner could pickup under controll imagine what liquids are getting into that river?
What’s worrying is the river nearby usually grids will run off into the nearest water course so i suspect the river is contaminated
Excellent investigation DJ. Plastic beads contaminating drains/watercourses is totally unacceptable.
You are really taking auditing to the next level DJ, very innovative! I also believe you started the adoption of drones and just about every other auditor followed suit after you.
Great job exposing this one and for your real concern for the environment and U.K. wildlife.
As a keen environmentalist myself, those plastic pellets are dreadful! I hope your audit makes them buck their ideas up. Good work DJ!
They're reuseable .
@@heathen5298, on the floor, you donut!
Apart from being unsightly there won't be any environmental impact, its the reason we store milk & wrap food in plastic, even take aways are in plastic container. The main bit about most Environmentalist's is normaly the last 9 letters. And i would like to know what animals are known to eat plastic, & how many are poisoned by it?, as said before we wrap food in the stuff!!.
@@johnmorsley Cheers for that, it also states they want zero pellet loss. Anyway calm down.
@@kevinparker461 fish don't eat plastic in the ocean ?
DJ, I hope you're actually going to report these issues to the Environmental Agency ...this is one example of how plastic gets into the food we eat. 😡
When the only punishment is a fine of money, this big business does not care.
Couldn’t agree more, please report @DJ!
@@KJV , don't forget the Environmental Agency actually has the power to close the business until it has taken the appropriate measures needed to rectify the Environmental Issues that have been brought to their attention.
I have already reported it, as they did not seem a bit bothered about it
@@Mark-hc3lk they were bothered lol, just look at their faces they knew they had been caught out!
Excellent work DJ! Supreme attention to detail & audited with the utmost professionalism ✅ it’s a pleasure to watch auditing by someone at the top of their game 👍🏻 Keep on keeping on!
Great video, these pellets are a nightmare especially when they are entering the wildlife and getting into the water course and drainage systems. As for the fork trucks what would happen if they were to be involved in a road traffic accident. The driver would be the one losing his license and possibly having a personal injury claim against him. If it was a member of the public driving around without registration, tax and insurance the police would be on you like a ton of bricks.
As a long time owner of forklifts in an accident they take no prisoners, they are solid and very heavy and a collision with a car or cyclist / pedestrian will not end well
One of your best videos yet! The fact those Silos are accessible is very bad animals could be trapped or even CHIlDREN! Very irresponsible. And I hope the envonmental agency do something about the pollution they are causing with the plastic pellets. Would be easy to build and enclosure around the silos and lock it off but as usual companies do t want to spend the money to do things right.
I need to say this is why I have time for your videos.
I was gobsmacked at the amount plastic pellets littered around. To see the pellets in the drain was the last straw. I intend to make a complaint to this shoddy business regarding this serious matter. As you quite rightly say wildlife will probably eat those pellets. It’s absolutely disgusting. And there’s no excuse for it. And the two men that lied regarding the pellets being cleaned up daily is also absolutely disgraceful.
The whole place stinks of shoddy careless practices.
Outstanding work mr Audits.
The officer could have shown more appreciation and understanding to what you told him and showed him.
But he was fairly reasonable.
I really hope the council, environmental health and united utilities all take action regarding this absolute criminal behaviour by this shoddy business.
Here! Here1
where are the motorway protestors now???
Amazing
@@esecallum ??? 🤔🤔🤔motorway protesters ? I’ve no idea what you mean. Didn’t know people were protesting on motorways
Great interaction with the police and an interesting audit. This sort of pollution is going on all over the country. Excellent DJ.
"Ah, I've heard of Auditors of course I have" said the cop. "...informed me your bodycam is on because the auditors have taught you that... people are now starting to behave, but theses guys, not yet" said DJ.
You're a professional. Please keep it up.
As a resident of Accrington and a lover of the environment, I thank you for bringing attention to this DJ 👍
Also a Accrington resident, nice to see DJ travelling to the North West. Hope there might be at least one more video of Altham business park.
Please complain.
Report it to ya local council mucker 👍
That was AWFUL. Think of the damage that all those bits of plastic will be doing for centuries. All because they are being lazy and can get away with it. I hope something happens with this.
I think a follow up will be needed by you or someone else. 👍👍👍
Centuries!!!???? Hahahaha stop being stupid.
Fair play the officer is a credit to his force, handled it in a professional way, too many of these companies are taking the absolute piss. Time for a revisit I think.
Absolutely the most important video I've seen from you.
I'm not an environmental activist.
But shit like sure makes me tilt towards becoming one!
Seeing that plastic everywhere is shocking
@@nokianige I don't live in the uk but if you say so
@@nokianige there's a bit of a difference between civilian accidents and industrial negligence though, both are bad admittedly, but companies are held to higher standards.
Brilliant Audit DJ. Those pellets are a danger not only to local wildlife but the marine life in our water ways too. even our drinking water will soon be contaminated by these toxic plastic pellets. Let's see what the environmental agencies have to say about this issue. Top job 👍
I actually think our drinking water IS contaminated by microplastics already.
@@PeterMaddison2483 You could be spot on with that assumption. It has also been discovered that fish have been found to contain plastic particles too. The very fish that many people consume.
Plastic has been found in human blood!! 😮
Reminds me of Kitchen Nightmares when Gordon asks how often do you clean the kitchen? "everyday" and you can tell it hasnt for years
Excellent expose DJ. Those pellets clearly looked like they had been there for some time. After initially trying (without success) to fob you off, they suddenly seemed to realise that you know your onions. Hopefully they will address these issues, and the place will be cleaned up. I don't have much faith in the EA, but fingers crossed. The bobby seemed nice and helpful, so hopefully his colleagues can get some of the traffic matters sorted there. Great video.
that plastic pellet spillage is disgusting, putting a sign up and then leaving that on the ground, well DJ, I think you made him feel embarrassed. He walked off and if he is the boss, he needs to be disciplined
I have reported the plastic pellet issue to Environment Agency incident hotline Telephone: 0800 80 70 60 and they have created a case.
Great quality content. Well researched and doing z great public service. Well done DJ Audits!
Absolutely outstanding investigation youngster.
❤️. Even looking out for the ♿.... 👍👍👍
That police officer was spot on ... great audit DJ ...
hardly spot on, he was told about a motoring offence and did nothing about it.
@@josephbenoit6180 selective policing.
@@aaronmckay. does not have to be a traffic cop to deal with motoring offences.
@@aaronmckay. if he seen someone driving whilst using a mobile phone would he need to inform the appropriate officers
Great video
You should do a return trip to see if they are adhering to the rules
Health and safety law (HASAWA 74) applies to anywhere a person can get to. The pipe at the side of a public path is a trip hazard for anyone stepping off that path - the company need to either remove the hazard or mark it up / barrier it, as they are liable for any issues arising from it. An uncovered pit in the middle of your yard is your fault, if an intruder falls into it!
Cracking video dj 👌.
You keep on holding these companies to account .
When you said to the cop that you've only spoken to the works manager, that's a good point. I've worked for two companies where I have spoken to a director or senior manager about issues that junior management and supervisors are ignoring or causing and they have said they are completely unaware of it and invited me to go to them direct with any further issues, so it is often kept from them. Not that that's an excuse. They should all be aware of what's going on.
The directors should walk around the site once or twice a month as part of HSEQ audit, at random unannounced times. They may well think of ways to improve the business whilst having a stroll around. If they just get out of their car and walk into their office without looking left or right they are not doing their job.
Not looking and then saying "I'm shocked, I tell you shocked that x is happening" belongs in in the days of old.
The directors need to walk around their business.
Directors were lying, of course they know! 🙄
Well done for this DJ. I cannot believe the sloppiness of this company.
Excellent audit❗️ You have shown how hypocritical this company is. Let us hope they take their own “Mission Statement” seriously.
Great job on this one. I have watched lots of these types of video and you are definitely on another level. Keep it up mate.
Great audit DJ...The Police Officer was brilliant. Those plastic pellets are a real danger to wildlife etc. Well done.
Hed have been brilliant if he had done something about the fork lift use...bet nothing was done
This dj is some if you're finest work highlighting serious health an environmental issues. The companies involved should be ashamed.
God... we didn't even see the river (until you showed at the end) but christ... one could imagine it'll be FULL of those pellets! 😱🙃👌🏼
This one definitely needs a follow up visit DJ, keep up the good work.
I could not believe what I saw with all them pellets scattered all over the place, definitely a high danger to wildlife "absolutely dreadful" and they did not seem a bit bothered about it, when you spoke with them, no care in the world "SHAME ON THEM" To be honest that area along the section of the pavement was totally disgusting. Lose cable, unattended pipes, etc. I hope they get their act together, as I see a hefty fine coming there way..... Great audit DJ.
Walks over to camera... "I don't want you videoing me"
I follow your audits daily. This is by far the best yet. I would love to see revisit after revisit at this property so as to a certain what if anything has been done to correct this
I love you showing the plat maps, and easements, I do similar when someone says I am on their land.
@5:30 Laughed so hard.... "Keeping plastic pellets on the public footpath, you've got lovely sweep kits and a big statement about zero pellet loss....well whats all this?" *points to grass with millions of pellets*
This is shocking! Needs to be on the news
What a nice cop.
I think there's a correlation between how intelligent they are and how polite they are.
Great work DJ. The owners are both directors of Accrington Stanley Football Club, one of them lives in a £0.5M house, he can probably afford to clean up all the pellets.
One would hope the bosses of this company take immediate action. This place and those workers you spoke with are a disgrace. Great audit DJ!
Now it's in the public eye they are sure to clean it up for a few months until provably reverting back to this standard.
I do appreciate DJ going about with PJ. PJ is a friendly, pleasant, gentle man and to have him abused and assaulted by those 5 goons made my blood boil. Nice to see DJ back him up when he can.
Excellent video and hopefully once all the relevant authorities have paid them a visit they’ll stop being so blasé. They can’t even adhere their own rules so it needs people like you to bring them to account-well done DJ
AMAZING thanks for finding this MASSIVE breach of environmental safety!
Keep on going with these visits and videos. As it’s great to share these and it’s also protecting many too. 🙏🕊☀️
Pleasant copper, there should be more like him.
Nice bloke 😊
Pleasant but pointless. Glad to see my stolen tax money being spent so well.
Yet another brilliant video.
I've only just found your channel and was wondering do you do update videos where you go back to see if they've put things right?
A very good job, dude. Keep it up showing how some companies don't care about the area and wild life.
So another bunch of officious pratts who think they are lord of all who are unfortunate to come into contact with them .. I am struggling to understand how anyone would walk up to a member of the public walking on a public footpath, and start barking orders , demanding to know what you are doing
I know loads of work colleagues who would do that, almost to a man the most useless workers.
I have no patience for this lot , I would just say fuck-off, sorry but it's true.
Hi Viz Syndrome
Well done DJ, another great audit, (this is my second comment in two days) finding another polluter. The police officer was good, but I got the impression that nothing would be done (hope I’m wrong). As I said yesterday, these people need to reported to the Environment Agency so they held to account.
Keep up the good work.
Grumpyoldgit👏👏👏
I have reported the issue to the EA 👍
@@DJAUDITS I've heard they started cleaning the plastic pallets today! Great job 👍
So well done on exposing this type of stuff, thank you. I like how politely you ask but firm you can do these things ❤️👍 brilliant
Time for a revisit DJ if its possible. I'd love to see if they have cleaned up their act nearly a year down the line.
another bobby that passed A1...he responded to the call polite and professional not too nosey and didn't try to infringe on your rights.. great job, enjoyed this1👍🏻
You mean when he did nothing about the cars on the pavement, the lorries on double yellows, and when he personally witnessed a traffic offence.
Yeah, very well handled A1. NOT!🤦♂🤡
Oh once he got caught out ,it went to I've got things to
do but had enough time to come out and attempt to control a member of the public. Lesson to be learnt Mr company man. Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house ! 🤔👍
Great video, again, spot on. Just to add about that forklift. It should also have a grade over the pallet folks, i.e., a pallet or something. When it's on the public road.
Now I approve of this video. Actually highlighting environmental issues rather than just trying to needlessly piss people off for entertainment purposes.
notice the copper wasn't told to put a hi viz on
THIS PLACE ACTUALLY NEEDS A RETURN VISIT TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY IMPROVEMENTS ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING ALL THOSE PLASTIC PELLETS EVERYWHERE
I agree, but I think you had caps stuck on, makes it hard to read, and is usually interpreted as shouting ;)
This is some great investigative work DJ be proud
I think this was one of your best videos that has had the most impact on the community. Thank u for what u do.
Action needs to be taken against them and reported to the Environmental Agency (EA) and also the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) also report to the police about the fork lift using the road with tax and insurance under Road Traffic Act. The road is maintained as a mixed responsibility. Also should be charged for wasting police time.
Can’t Greenpeace walk up and down?
No They have to come in a boat!
That's why I said is there a Injunction or something as they normally have signs all over the place but nothing at all. So wherever you are from, you can walk up and down that public footpath all day long with your camera and the police should not be called unless a crime is suspected.
Police don’t only deal with crime, police deal with calls received. People don’t know what is a crime, same as the police don’t.
People in HiVis tabards are the legal eagles in my book, they should be listened to intently and then……told to frig off.
hahahaha nice one
@@jimmyccam
They can if they wear green trousers.
Thanks DJ for highlighting these safety and environment hazards. Especially the plastic pellets being left like that to be washed down the drain is just pathetic.
🤣🤣🤣 The old boy walking alongside the forklift truck illegally on the road, “Don’t tape me mate!” There’s no tape in *this* digital device “mate” 😀
Brilliant audit DJ. Hope they get done for those misdemeanours.
You're bang on about people "starting" to behave, due to the great work being done by auditors. Still a long way to go though. Without the auditors they'd all still be making up the rules as they go along.
Nice one DJ you're the best mate. We don't want these lazy dirty humans putting plastic into the water!
Massive WELL DONE DJ for highlighting their failings and disgusting behaviour especially with the plastic pellets that is very harmful to wildlife. They was quick to come over and give you instructions and telling you were on private property and telling you can't walk on a public path but as soon as you pointed out what they were doing wrong they soon didn't want to talk did they. I really hope they get a visit from the environment agency and get fined for their negligence and wrong doings.
Hi DJ this is a perfect example of why we need ppl like you this company obviously thinks it can hide on the edge of an industrial estate polluting the environment and not giving a toss about the law they need a visit from the environment agency and local council I hope you send the video to them and I hope the police follow up and stop them breaching the road traffic act . Excellent work DJ keep it up and have a good wknd 💪🙏
Fantastic work DJ love all the screen overlays and info at the end.
There’s industrial estates around green bank police station. It would be interesting to see the response from the police around there as they are not all as polite as this officer and you would certainly run rings around their knowledge or massive lack of it.
Nice one DJ, if they are this sloppy on the outside of the company I wonder what goes on behind closed doors? 🤔🤔🤔
Your videos keep getting better! Well done 👍
Yes!!! I think I wrote you about this place 3-4 months ago and you did it! Great job
Brilliant DJ, what I want to know is when are you going back to check, it was that good I've just watched it again
A perfect audit. Not looking for confrontation and just going about your business. Well done. I wonder if they have done a clean up yet?
Djaudits another one for you is parking trailers without tractor units on public highways not legal or covered by company insurance, they should have their own trailer parking area on private land.
👍
So he comes out to ask you questions and when you start asking him questions he doesn't have time for you.
Also, They don't seem to like being told what to do by a non-employee but I bet they inform employees of their short comings all the time.
Edit: and they clearly only like to look like they are for the environment, not actually be for looking after it.
Nice one Dj 👍 get the feckers reported to as many agencies you can involve. 👍👍✌and at least a couple of illegal plates parked up there.
You did not mention the cars parked on the footpath. Your doing a great job. pellets in drain all over the place.
Those blokes completely underestimated DJ.
Great video DJ. It speaks volumes.
Health and safety is no joke
Absolutely Brilliant DJ...Thank you 👏...Here's hoping they get all that fixed this week 💥💥💥
Hope you get the body cam video , it would be nice to see the conversation the officer had inside with them .
Great video! The plastic beads are everywhere! What if some kids messing around climbed into those storage silos that the doors are not secured!??? They would be in some very deep 💩😤🤔!
Nice one DJ a great audit again👍wish the company would understand the benefits you bring in the name of health and safety and for the environment.
They could have started to clean them up whilst I was still on site and it would have shown something positive from the company.
U have to revisit there in say 28 days if you can
Great audit. You’re probably one of the best on UA-cam!
Great job DJ! Would love to see a 'revisit' of this site to know if these concerns have been properly addressed
Great video, some excellent interactions and a really positive and friendly discussion with a PC who seemed to understand your concerns
