Sparky71 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I see that the former New World factory near LATCHFORD locks is surrounded by boards proudly displaying the imminent building of more houses. The development is called Edgewater, Thelwall. I'm sure that Thelwall used to be south of the MSC. Surely the developers aren't worried about claiming their new houses are in Latchford.

McBain Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 That's exactly what they are worried about. In fact, didn't this site used to be in Westy? What has happened to Westy Didn't it used to be an electoral ward in its own right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 So when marketing my house in dallam, do you think I should claim it to be winwick, I think thats nearer the mark than these claims ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Westy is still there. It is now called Latchford East. The New World site is still in Westy, (in Latchford East). I just hope that the dwellings look better than the garbage that has gone up a little further down next to the Swingbridge. In fact none of the new developments around Warrington look pleasing to the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBain Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Peter, the prevalence of bog-standard design can be laid firmly at the door of the planning committee members, who are universally hostile to anything that doesn't conform to their collective, cosy predilection for 1930's nostalgia-based house types Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How odd Thelwall IS South of the Canal and is part of the Warrington South constituency. It borders the villages of Lymm and Grappenhall, and (across the Manchester Ship Canal), Latchford.
