IN previous years Culcheth & Glazebury Parish Council would at this time be thanking everyone for making Community Day a success, especially all the charities that work so hard year in, year out.
But of course due to Covid-19 pandemic we are in very different times, and thanks go to the brilliant NHS staff and Key workers for their hard work and sacrifice.
The parish council would also thank so many more people who have helped our residents through these difficult times. As events move on and situations change, if you or someone you know needs help or support, you can complete an on-line form on www.warrington.gov.uk OR ring the coronavirus helpline on 01925 442441 or 01925 442443.

Most of the larger planning issues affecting the villages are to do with traffic, and the council oppose those that would put more traffic on roads and create congestion.
HS2 2b has approval in principle but the Golborne Link is still opposed by the local MP, Warrington Borough Council, MPs from neighbouring areas, the parish council and CADRAG.
The parish council recently commented on a rail consultation to make clear that improved East West Rail was the priority.
