Crompton Liberal Democrat Councillor, Diane Williamson, and her two Crompton colleagues, have learnt that the owner of the former Ambulance Station on Moor Street has put an outline planning application for 12 apartments.

“Currently our stance is that we would support, in principle, this application.  This is because for a long time the site has been an eye sore, with anti-social behaviour as well as littering and fly-tipping, which has caused  residents much concern” said Cllr Louie Hamblett.

Cllr Dave Murphy added “We are keen to understand how the application will affect local residents and we would also like to guide them through the planning application process.  This is only an outline application, which means it is just the principal of building on that land.”

“We obviously want to listen to local residents’ concerns, to help them to get the best out of this application.  If residents are in support of the application or wish to object, then we will make their voices heard” said Cllr Diane Williamson
