PLANS which could totally reshape Winwick Road and create more than 750 jobs will be considered by councillors tomorrow, Thursday.

Members of the council’s planning committee will sit at 6.30pm in the Town Hall to consider two applications.

The first is to knock down the former Fiat Warehouse, which is already partially demolished.

Developers want to replace it with a business park including employment sites and industrial units and more than 500 jobs.

It will need new road junctions on Winwick Road and Cromwell Avenue.

Meanwhile plans are also in place to redevelop the neighbouring Alban Retail Park.

Developers want to build five new retail units, open a new restaurant and create a new junction on Winwick Road and improve the current access off Hawleys Lane.

It is earmarked to create 260 jobs.

Anything that creates jobs is very welcome in the town.

Not always welcome, I'm happy to have winwick road developed but the eyesore buildings that I have complained about many times that get dumped in north Warrington are an atrocity. Never in south Warrington. A case in particular and by far the worst one so far is the new decathlon building. It is shameful.

Hey akabaz, just who do you classify as 'local' people? Is it just people who live in houses adjoining Winwick Rd or people living in North Warrington or South of the Mersey or even down the road in Winwick, Burtonwood and even Newton?
