Warrington Residents Against Prison Proposal

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.

Residents Say No to Titan Prison

We’ve noticed a number of “Say No to Titan Prison” signs have been cropping up around the Burtonwood, Whittle Hall and Westbrook areas.  This confirms to us that the feeling among residents is that they are still concerned about the proposed plans to build a Titan Prison on the Omega site and want to make their feelings known loud and clear.

In other news, a large number of residents were out in force this weekend handing out leaflets in many of the Town’s retail parks.  This has prompted an outstanding wave of positive comments in support of the campaign.  Please keep your comments coming.

Meanwhile, WRAPP can confirm that a meeting was held recently with members of WRAPP and local Councilors with the aim of pushing the Omega concept forward.  This concept is to provide 25,000 new hi-tech jobs on the multi-million pound business park.  Keep watching for more details.

Keep your comments coming, and also don’t forget to keep writing to our MP’s, Miller Developments and the Ministry of Justice, voicing your opposal to the planned Prison scheme.  A list of useful contacts and addresses can be found here.
