00:00Plans for a carbon dioxide pipeline running the length of Wirral are facing strong local opposition,

00:06but the borough's four MPs have stopped short of declaring their own positions.

00:12The proposed peak cluster scheme would transport carbon dioxide from manufacturing sites in

00:17Derbyshire and Staffordshire for storage beneath the Irish Sea. Wirral Council has repeatedly

00:23opposed the plans, and councillors rejected a request from developers to access council land

00:29for surveys. The MPs Angela Eagle, Alison McGovern, Justin Madders and Matthew Patrick say they have

00:36engaged with constituents and made representations to peak cluster. They say they are working hard

00:42on behalf of local people.
