PADGATE Walking Day has been branded a huge success by organisers.

Peter Edwards, from Padgate Walking Day committee, said: “It went brilliantly.

“Massive crowds lined the route, every inch of pavement being used and people standing off the kerbs – all the way from the bridge to the turn around at the A50.

“I’ve never seen so many spectators for many years; the weather certainly helped.”

Mr Edwards also thanked council staff, and Warrington East NPU, for supporting the event.
