Plans to build a ‘Titan’ prison housing up to 2,500 prisoners on the Omega development,Warrington
Media statement
A spokesman for Warrington Borough Council said:
“In the course of our discussions with English Partnerships, Miller Homes and the NWDA about the development of Omega, it was put to us that Omega was being considered as one possible location for a Titan prison. We would have very real concerns about such a proposal and would need to know a lot more. As far as Warrington Council is aware, Omega is progressing and there is a lot of interest in the site from a whole range of commercial, industrial and business developers. We are working closely with our partners in this scheme to re-evaluate the uses on phase two of Omega in the light of the current economic climate but remain committed to securing the future of the Omega development and ensuring that Warrington is well placed to make the most of this site of regional significance.”
