MEMBERS of the Labour party in Whittle Hall have welcomed a significant investment from Warrington Borough Council on a service road from junction eight.

The service road will link Omega South, Lingley Mere and Royal Mail.

Karen Mundry, Labour candidate for the 2014 local elections in Whittle Hall ward, said: “Congestion on local roads is a real concern for the residents that I have spoken to.

“This service road should result in a reduction of traffic on the roads in the area during rush hour, something that will be of real benefit to residents.”
