Bus company Arriva has submitted plans for a depot on Jackson Street in St Helens to facilitate the installation of compound fencing for a mobile hydrogen trailer. The purpose of this trailer is to refuel hydrogen-powered buses. The proposal, developed by Paul Butler Associates on behalf of Arriva, includes a new fenced compound with self-contained hydrogen storage cells. The cover letter accompanying the proposal states that the facility would comply with the Council's policies and guidelines, ensuring it does not adversely affect the character, appearance, amenities of neighboring occupiers, highway safety, or the environment. The plans are currently undergoing standard consultation until February 24, with a decision expected by March 26.
