I think areas of Warrington that contain lots of brown land should be the very first areas earmarked for development. Plenty of these areas including Fidler?s ferry power station DO NOT have the traffic and congestion restraints caused by the motorway running parallel to the Manchester ship canal like south Warrington does. Besides that point, the areas services are already buckling under pressure!! As an example; we have 1 government ran leisure centre at bridge water high school that?s supposed to serve the entire area, it?s not been touched or updated for about 40 years, half of it is currently shut, it?s a disgrace!

Stockton Heath recycling plant again is supposed to serve the area, it?s absolutely tiny and it?s always qued, not to mention that this is slap bang in the middle of the village that?s always busy, what a stupid idea!

Stockton Heath doctors is another example, whatever time of day you ring, your sat on hold in a que for an hour, it?s just not good enough!! Do you think that thousands more homes BUILD ON GREEN BELT is going to make these issues any better, NO THEY ARN?T! Major infrastructure and investment to the area is needed now, let alone after thousands more homes are built!

The trouble with south Warrington is the geography of the area. Every direction you turn your faced with bottle necks, the motorway and Manchester ship canal are just a nightmare for congestion. Whenever either the M6 or M56 are backed up, Warrington just becomes a car park. The river Mersey running through probably doesn?t help matters either. North Warrington is much more open and is a better clean slate to work with. Bold Heath, Winwick and Croft offer great blank areas to creat. The greedy council & developers want to use south Warrington instead for its resale value and council tax prices instead of giving a dam to the Residents who live in the area and appreciate the landscape.
