Peak Cluster Pipeline
The Peak Cluster project will capture CO2 emissions from the cement and lime processing sources around and in the Peak District and transport them via a new pipeline for safe, permanent storage beneath the East Irish seabed. The proposed pipeline route across Cheshire includes the area marked in the map above.
Because of its scale, Peak Cluster has been designated a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). This means that permission to build and operate it would need to be granted by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, not by local councils. As a result, the project must follow the Development Consent Order (DCO) process instead of the usual local planning system
There is a Parliamentary Petition asking for a pause in this technology to allow more time for consideration. If you think this is the case please go to the Parliamentary petition by clicking the link below.

NEWS
Hooks Wood found itself firmly on the map recently when it was visited by the new government’s minister for forestry, Mary Creagh MP. (right pic) Mary was accompanied by Louise Gittins, the Leader of CWAC (left pic), and representatives of Mersey Forest and the Forestry Commission. Centre picture is the Director of Mersey Forest, Paul Nolan who has given us a lot of help and support establishing Hooks Wood.
Who are Guilden Sutton Green Space?
Our aim
Our aim is to create new community green spaces in Guilden Sutton – places for people to play, exercise, gather and enjoy the outdoors, and places for nature to thrive.
Currently, this includes Hooks Wood and Green Lane bridleway while, in future, the intent is to bring together other 'green' initiatives throughout Guilden Sutton and the part of Pipers Ash east of the A41.
So far......
4,800 native woodland trees and shrubs have been planted and Hooks Wood is established and growing! The trees will be maintained and thinned as the woodland develops over the next 10 years.
The pond has been restored to support and encourage wildlife.

The Pond
What's happening to the pond?
The pond, at the far side of Hooks Wood is being restored to support and encourage wildlife. It has been enlarged, deepened and the surrounding vegetation cleared to allow light in from the south and west. The pond is now being left to its own devices and we will see wildlife soon start to flourish.
