WARRINGTON Borough Council is carrying on the fight to get an eyesore wall of tyres removed from the road at Kingsway North, Latchford – more than six months after first taking action against the landowner.
Peter Astley, the council’s assistant director for regulation and protection reassured residents that the council is doing everything in its power to seek removal of the tyre bales.
He said: “After the, council issued the landowner with an untidy land notice back in January, on May 21 Warrington Magistrates’ Court ordered the bales to be taken down within eight weeks and for the perpetrator pay the council’s costs.
“We since have been informed the landowner has now lodged an appeal with the Crown Court and the eight week compliance period to remove the wall, set by magistrates, has been put on hold.
“We are now awaiting a date for the case to be heard at Crown Court and will have to await the outcome of that hearing before we can move forward.
“We will continue to fight this case and ensure that this illegal development is removed.”
