- Application for land to be designated as a Village Green
The Parish Council hopes to make application to the Borough Council to have the grassed areas at the Croft Youth Centre, Smithy Lane, designated as a Village Green.
This would guarantee the future of the land and prevent any development on the land in the future.
To support this application, the Parish Council requests documentation or photographs from local residents, which show that the land has been used by the public for the last twenty years.
If you are able to support the application, please send any evidence you may have to the Parish Council Office, Unit K1, Taylor Business Park, Warrington Road, Risley, WA3 6BL or pass it to your local Parish Councillor by the 30th of September 2010. Unfortunately, the Parish Council may not be able return photographs.
On the 20th of July 2010, Prologis informed St. Helens Council that it wished to withdraw its plans.
Prologis Vice President Simon Jenkins blamed the economy for the failure of the scheme, a decade after it was launched.
