THE DEMOLITION of a workshop and garage in Woolston has been put on hold after an application to clear the site for housing was withdrawn.

Proposals had been submitted to Warrington Borough Council’s planning department to demolish the single-storey workshop and adjoining garage that housed Roughley’s Flooring Specialists on Manchester Road.

Outline planning permission is in place to build a pair of semi-detached houses on the site and a two-day demolition job was anticipated to take place on August 8, but the application to bulldoze the property has now been withdrawn.
