Councillor Andrea Wall – Representation submitted 02.04.2020 I am writing to formally object to any of the Green Space known as Widnes Golf Club being developed for housing.

My Views
Widnes Golf Club Green Space – OPPOSE building houses on it.

Widnes Cemetery and Dogs
I’ve had some residents contact me recently that are finding a minority of people using Widnes Cemetery to walk dogs upsetting. While I understand that some people might walk their dogs in the cemetery and also be paying their respects at a resting place, dogs (apart from assistance dogs) are not allowed in the cemetery. […]
