As Carmel Preston explained “The Council have told me that they hope to replace the remaining cast iron lamps in Avondale Road during the summer of 2010. I am asking for all lamps here to be included”

Community Action has an Impact

A large number of residents raised concerns about the proposed purchase of 43 Avondale Road by Pastor Peter Cunningham of Green Pastures Limited. Over 170 residents signed a petition supported by Cllr Sue McGuire which objected to the purchase on the grounds that another house of multi occupancy or HMO in this section of Southport would have a negative impact on residents and on local businesses in the area.

At a public meeting, which was attended by Andrew Cunningham of Green Pastures, the residents voiced their concerns and as a result of this Green Pastures have reviewed their plans for the property.

Councillor Sue McGuire, who has worked with residents on this issue, said “I am delighted that Green Pastures will not now be using 43 Avondale Road as a house of multi-occupancy and although their plan is still to purchase this property Andrew Cunningham has assured me that they have no intention of using this address for accommodation. As ward councillor I will, be monitoring any and all developments at this address.”,
