A group of angry residents in Halebank, an English village with a population of just 2,000 residents, submitted a proposal to turn socialite Catherine Hesketh's 4-story London mansion into a sheep museum to protest a recently approved proposal to turn thousands of acres of Hesketh family-owned land into a 500-house development on the village's edge.
"The community is not opposed to new housing to meet local needs, but these plans would literally double the size of a village that has limited infrastructure and very poor road connectivity to the rest of Halton Borough," Deputy Chair of the Parish Council John Anderton told Runcorn and Widnes World.
