Residents of the Lane End community at the top of Cherry Lane in Lymm are protesting against plans by Lymm Truckwash to expand its business onto Green Belt. Planning permission is being sought to increase the area used, add a fuelling facility and to operate 24 hours a day, all week long.

The anti-refugee Braverman Bill is immoral, unworkable and incredibly costly.
