ON the subject of devolution I believe that many people on this side of Warrington would welcome linking with Liverpool, as it seems that every other person here in Penketh is either from Liverpool or has connections with it.

In particular, pensioners here would be pleased if this meant that they were able to enjoy the transport concessions currently afforded to those on Merseyside, especially free train travel on the Merseyrail network (extended to include Warrington) including lines to Chester and Southport.

On the other hand, perhaps some Liverpudlians have settled here to get away from Liverpool – not that that applies to me.
