A controversial housing development is due to be decided tomorrow with 120 objectors hoping it gets rejected. The 84-home plan submitted by Jockey Club Racecourses that run Haydock Racecourse in Wigan, which neighbours the proposed development, would also see two houses on Windsor Road demolished.
The site is currently used by the racecourse as an overflow car park on very few occasions throughout the year when meets take place. The two bungalows that would be demolished are also owned by the racecourse which borders Golborne, Ashton and Newton-le-Willows.
Traffic issues and poor road infrastructure are two of the key reasons why objectors want to see this application refused.
