Warrington Residents Against Prison Proposal

So, I guess it was only a matter of time before the banner got taken down.  First off - well done to whoever put it up.

The removal of the banner looks like a clean, professional job, which leads me to think that either someone has taken it as a trophy, English Partnerships took exception, or Warrington Borough Council removed it.  There are other theories, but let’s not go into those just yet…

Whilst we’re speaking about rumours… Rumour has it that Jack Straw is having sleepless nights due to the amount of noise and attention that we’re making.  So, let’s keep up the pressure.  Write to Jack Straw (see Useful Contacts page - if emails to him bounce, send them again, and again - they will get through), write to him again, and again, and again, write to Helen Southworth and Helen Jones, our MP’s and tell them that Warrington says NO to Titan Prison.

You can email us your replies via the Contact Us link - we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s keep up the pressure.

Having driven past the Omega South site today, I saw the following and rushed back to get the camera.  Residents feel strongly about the proposed plans.

Whilst some residents have reported the disappearance of some of the “Say No to Titan Prison” signs allegedly being taken down by a man in a fast food van (and have gone into detail as to send us very detailed descriptions - but we’ll not name and shame - you know who you are and it’s your customers and local residents you’re letting down), they obviously felt the need to shout a little louder.

Good on you, we say!

Visiting the URL at the bottom of the Omega poster takes you to the original vision for the Omega site, which states:

“The south site of Omega will redefine the way people view their working environment, with bespoke design and build solutions that will create a new contemporary campus style setting for business within clusters of landscaped urban space.”

Now it looks like the only type of clusters that Jack Straw is supporting is one in the format of a 2,500-place prison cluster, also known as a Titan Prison.
