ANGRY residents have lodged objections to a plan to open a training centre for excavator drivers on farmland near Warrington.
They say the development off Kenyon Lane, Croft would cause an intolerable noise nuisance and also traffic problems.
Croft Parish Council has also lodged a strong objection.
Cllr Les Hoyle said: “I have put in an objection myself. There is nothing wrong with having a training centre for excavator drivers but this is not the right place for it.
“It is currently grazing land and in the Green Belt but there are about a dozen or so houses nearby.
“The residents are up in arms about it.”
Two buildings would be erected on the site.
Activity would involve trainee drivers excavating areas of the site and it then being restored for another group of trainees.
Cllr Hoyle said: “It would be bound to cause a great deal of noise and disturbance.”

NIMBYISM !!!
Certainly sounds like it – i wonder where Councillor Hoyle thinks would be a suitable location to practice excavating if not agricultural land.
