I REFER to your article regarding the former site of Shearings coaches at Appleton Thorn being chosen by the Government as a holding centre for HGVs.

The comments by Warrington Borough Council leader Russ Bowden are just beyond comprehension.

He criticises the Government for not consulting with the council or residents regarding the choice of the site for the operation.

Let me remind you Mr Bowden that is how WBC treats the residents of Warrington regarding LDPs and building applications.

WBC justs rubber stamp them without any respect for the public’s views and opinions.

You Mr Bowden are a hypocrite.
