NESTON High School hosted an eco picnic to mark the opening of their new
eco classroom last month.
THE Chester Road car park has been attracting a few complaints due to the
narrowness of the parking bays.
The markings have been put in as a temporary measure as part of the continuing
redevelopment of the area which will culminate in a new supermarket.
However, a number of people have struggled to get out of their cars due to the
width of the parking bays which meet the minimum size for temporary works.
The spaces to be provided on the former Belmont Cottage site will be wider to
accommodate larger vehicles.
The British Legion is available for town centre parking, 8am - 6pm Monday to
