We need as many residents as possible to submit a formal objection to Wigan Council to stop the nightclub going ahead in support of residents affected. If you need help and advice for any reason at all please get in touch - 07593908699 or email mouldingmichael@gmail.com If you live in Gerard Court apartments it is important residents submit formal objections. Wigan Reporter - Wigan Council has published a notice in this weeks Wigan Reporter. It gives details of how to make a formal objection. The local community needs your support to help protect it. Together we can stop this nightclub for obvious reasons and protect our local community from developments we do not want or need. Wigan Council is now taking objections and must be received by 30th Sept. The issues are noise, no soundproofing, anti-social behaviour, lack of policing, location - residential area, nearby church and its grounds, dangerous road junction and too many licensed premises in a small area, unsuitability of building, intensive use of one building. Keep in mind the function room is rarely used. It is not currently used as part of the pub. Ashton Town Centre Conservation area. You can use one, any or all of the reasons or anything else you feel is appropriate. What is important is that you submit an objection no matter where you live. Objections can be made as follows :- Email to :- planningrepresentations@wigan.gov.uk or you can write a letter to :- Kevin Foster, Places Directorate, Economy and Skills, Wigan Council, PO Box 100, Wigan WN1 3DS You MUST quote the following details :- Application Number - A/15/81175/CU Location - The Fleece Hotel 9-11 Warrington Rd, Ashton in Makerfield WN4 9PL You must also give your name and address. If sending by email you can copy me in at - mouldingmichael@gmail.com I am happy to collect any written enveloped letters to hand deliver to Wigan Council to save postage. Everyone in a household can object but should be done separately as each objection counts. For any advice ring me 07593908699, 01942 538278 or email mouldingmichael@gmail.com This proposal to have a nightclub just a few feet away from residents and pensioners is simply not acceptable. Our elderly citizens do not deserve to have this unwanted nuisance imposed on them. All pensioners deserve, as far as possible a peaceful and enjoyable retirement including being able to live in the peaceful surroundings of their home. Thank you for your support. Kind regards Mike Moulding
