Evil Sid Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 is this park to make up for the loss of park space in bank park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milky Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Surprised how little comment this has brought, not only are we loosing yet another building but the cost. There is already a park in the town, if there is money sloshing about in the bank of Warrington Council (and clearly there is) spend it on the facilities that already there. Anyone would think the council is part of the EU, the way it is just throwing money at stupid projects. Why are the buildings called Crown Chambers anyone know?

Anyone would think the council is part of the EU, the way it is just throwing money at stupid projects. Why are the buildings called Crown Chambers anyone know? My lack of reply is simply because I'm still trying to figure out it Crown Chambers building is just the glass fronted one next to the market high level walkway from the car park (demolition of the walkway started last night) or if building(s) in question now also form part of some of the older ones which front Bridge Street too. I'm guessing that it's just the glass fronted one but a month or so ago the WG said in one of their news stories that some Grade II Listed Buildings were going as part of the plan. They often get things wrong though....but alas despite having done my best to read through the councils documents that were available online it was still not clear what was going and still isn't to me and others that I've spoken to have said the same They council don't make it easy to understand what's going on do they but then again nothing new there.

If it was the glass building it would not be historic I do not think. I believe it is the white building in the pic Gary posted the link to, consisting of three shops. I guessing that at some point it was one property. Might be wrong though. Even if it is the glass building, does the cost justify a park if there is one near by?
