There are alternative sites around Warrington and in Culcheth - brownfield- that would meet some housing needs.
Culcheth is on the edge of Warrington , many Residents actually shop in leigh, which is nearer, rather than travel to Warrington centre. I doubt that the Residents of any new housing development will come from Warrington, they are more likely to move into the area, placing further demand on the town's facilities and hospital. . The public transport links from Culcheth are appalling . If you want to get a train, you have to drive to Birchwood as the 28 bus is infrequent and unreliable. There is no bus to Newton station. This means at least an additional 200 cars using the Holcroft Lane/Warrington rd junction at peak times. This is totally against Government policy regarding climate change. we have one GP surgery and one NHS dentist within a radius of at least 7 miles. What about schools, in particular primary schools? The main admission criteria is nearness to school - if there are at least 200 x 2 children on this estate, that is enough to fill one primary school. What about the children from the other houses in the village, will an additional school be built to accommodate them?
