WSP Environmental completes liability transfer deal

Consultancy WSP Environmental has completed a liability transfer deal on a former chemical site near Kirkby, Merseyside. Under the deal, WSPE has taken on the obligation for cleaning up the site, leaving the buyer and seller of the site to negotiate its transfer free from the cost implications of its contamination. Acorn Development, which has bought the former Kodak imaging chemicals plant, plans to create a business park on the 37ha site.
