Liberal Democrats are calling on Warrington Borough Council to be more open and transparent about their commercial investments, in line with the findings of a Government-commissioned review on the transparency of local government reporting. Our Finance Spokesperson, Councillor Ian Marks says:
There are still concerns and uncertainty about the Inland Border Facility at Appleton Thorn despite recent changes to the proposals. The facility will operate round the clock from 1st January. At last week's Warrington Borough Council meeting, Lymm Parish Councillor Tim Martland asked a Public Question about the impact of the facility on surrounding roads and on noise and air pollution.
The potential impact of the Inland Border Facility on the Barleycastle Trading Estate at Appleton Thorn is ringing alarm bells with local Councillors.
Warrington Liberal Democrats welcome the all-party support for our motion on the Climate and Ecological Emergency passed at the Council meeting on 7th December.
Warrington Council has given unanimous support to our call for an increase of £20 a week in the allowance for unpaid carers.
Residents of the Lane End community at the top of Cherry Lane in Lymm are protesting against plans by Lymm Truckwash to expand its business onto Green Belt. Planning permission is being sought to increase the area used, add a fuelling facility and to operate 24 hours a day, all week long. Residents have complained about the noise, air pollution and blocked main roads from the current site and are convinced this will be made much worse by the planned expansion.
