WARRINGTON North MP Charlotte Nichols is urging the owners of the CPS Centre at Culcheth to negotiate a way forward following a 28-day eviction notice on local traders.
Ms Nichols, who recently met with traders facing eviction from the CPS shopping Centre on “health and safety” grounds raised the situation at Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday, Wednesday.
She said: “The Fire Authority have been clear that there was, and I quote “nothing in the notice that would require people to be evicted” and the changes required to bring the building up to standard could be done with the tenants in situ.
“I continue to call on Shivat Haminim Capital and their legal representatives Landswood De Coy to meet with myself, traders and residents to negotiate a way forward that protects the livelihoods of these independent businesses and the amenities for the community. It is not too late to change course.”
Traders at the CPS Shopping Centre were rocked with the 28 day eviction notice served on them two weeks ago following claims the premises needed to close following a fire inspection, on health and safety grounds.

well 14 business days left, looks like the owner has the tenants well and truly finished and would not have issued eviction notices if he had not done his homework !
Unfortunately it is now time to pack up and order yourselves a man with a van, i would get all belongings out because i reckon big skips be on the way for 1st march to empty all items left in the building 🙁
Come to Culcheth and spout your bile in person. You mealy-mouthed, sparrow-boned, spineless coward.
It will go ahead no matter who challenges it. I would suggest the owners spend their time either relocating or moving their stuff out. The whole thing is disgusting but sadly the locals won’t be able to stop it. The owner will work with the council until they get what they want. To the owners please don’t be fooled by her support, it won’t achieve what you hope.
