Legion Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 peter T, my dig was more specificaly in relation to the current event of some residents in lymm who are objecting to a pizza shop being opened ruining their tranquil lifestyle and their "village culture", despite it being done in an existing building, when you compare it to what we (the reseidents of winwick road area) have had to see destroyed over the past 30 years or so. I suspect you may be a stocton heath area chap who are at the embryonic stage of what we have, at least your maintaining your original buildings more than the steel garages our landscape is being plighted with which have no carachter but pure commercial usage, and when they start to decaym, they arnt going to be quaint old buildings for our grandchildren, theyre going to be....well I cant even imagine. I would like to draw your attention to this pic of 60s' winwick road http://images.francisfrith.com/c10/450/07/warrington_W29099.jpg it soo reminds me of stockton heaths crossroads, near the police station, this is where what used to be KFC was until a few years back, this is currently facing WBCs vision of redevelopment, what it is now, what it will shortly be once the cinema or whatever aditional prepac buildings will be, is what we have as architecture for our children...its horrible...look what they have done to it.

observer Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Actually Peter, it means being politically self-interested; rather than viewing the needs of the Town as a whole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Be interested to learn just how many kids ARE using it; and that it wasn't a tempory fad. BMX IS now an Olympic Sport (what next? Tiddly Winks?!); so theoretically we should be producing some medal winners?! Obs It's always been really busy when we have been down at weekends but I never knew BMX was now an Olympic Sport Think we'd need far bigger facilities to produce medal winners from round here though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Pleased to hear it's being used; it was built due to the efforts of two local Councillors and a sympathetic Leader, at the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Pleased to hear it's being used; it was built due to the efforts of two local Councillors and a sympathetic Leader, at the time! AND Latchford Community Forum, not to mention the input from the schools and the community. I still have a picture of the "opening". It's a pity I can't post it on here.

Legion Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 these new football feilds... look like where my old scholl football feilds used to be... anytime we wanted we could go there and have a kickabout, with no costs... I take it this will remain free, or is it more policy now to encourage sports by making them revenue generating ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 It is a good question. I look forward to someone answering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Perhaps you need to look at the accounts of WRLC for the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
