Are there not enough junior facilities in the Westhoughton area ?? (Daisy Hill, C.M.B, Ladybridge, Westhoughton Rangers, Cross Guns playing field which has a £2500 portable goal post system with storage container sat redundant) Can someone please tell me where the nearest adult size football pitch is with changing rooms available to lease ? If Westhoughton High schools lottery bid doesn't go through and central drive don't get the changing rooms, we will be forced to play our football outside of the borough for another season. We have massive interest to create more teams within the club however a venue is stopping this from happening.

Bryn has no Sunday service at all, though the all stops train passes through it does not stop forcing Sunday travelers to pay £3.60 to use the bus instead.. something started by First when they ran both the bus and rail service.. The rail is £1.60 return Regardless of campaigning no forward moves are made.. they use the excuse "no demand" where in reality there must be a demand as the train stops at ALL the other stations to Liverpool and the bus is often standing room only.. even on Sunday.

Could a speed camera be installed on a temporary measure (or even arrange for a hand-held one) then the exact number of defaulters would be recorded. It is easier to deal with something if we have hard facts. how about monitoring the matter?

The limited collection points are certainly not close enough for us to consider risking life and limb just so our rubbish will be collected. Driving the refuse trucks along main roads and stopping at the end of streets is surely a safer option than asking residents to drag bin-bags out across town.
