WHY are public views being sought about the library and the town’s museums when they are never asked about other things and when they express their views they are ignored?

They were not listened to over an eight lane swimming pool which is now very busy and will get worse when LA Fitness closes its pool and when the 1,000 or so extra houses are built in and around the town.

The council can claim it did not know LA Fitness would close its pool but it has known for years about the increase in the local population that will occur when these new estates are built.

The people were not listened to over the one-way system which is like driving around Brand’s Hatch at times.

The only reason the underpass was not filled in was because it was too expensive to do at £500,000, and despite the views of many motorists, the traffic lights at the Seafarer are still there for no reason as there are three crossings within a few hundred yards.

No one listens when people complain about houses being built with no social infrastructure, no new schools, shops, doctor’s surgeries, etc which puts a massive pressure on existing ones.

As for roads, there have been no new ones since the Kingsmead spine road was opened yet traffic has increased by at least 25 per cent.

We are supposed to have a Northwich plan.

God alone knows what it is.
