I completed my survey yesterday but isn’t it a bit late for Warrington?
So they want us to put right the mess they have made of things with their 4200 proposed houses they are building in south west warrington
It’s too late the town has been built over by too many HMOs apartments and houses and there is no room for places to visit and appreciate. Take into account warehouses as well
Money well wasted as usual🙄
