FRANK Allen, chairman of the action group fighting the HS2 proposals, has been co-opted as a member of Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council.
The local residents was unanimously adopted a member of the council following the recent death of Cllr Ileyne Hutchinson who passed away after a short illness.
Welcoming Cllr Allen, long-standing council member Cllr Keith Bland, said: “Frank will be a great asset to the council. He has for some time campaigned against the planned proposals by HS2 to devastate our village. His knowledge as chairman of the railway action group CADRAG will be of great benefit to the council and the local community when challenging these plans which currently included cutting of the main access road between Culcheth and Croft.”
Frank has lived in the village for many years and says it is a great place to live. He will sit as a Conservative councillor.
He said: “I look forward to working with my fellow councillors to ensure it stays that way.”
