permission granted and its off to government office north west now, maybe diggers on site within 4-6 weeks if it all goes to plan.
Just a caveat on that.
Stobarts quoted as saying that if it goes to a public enquiry then its off to Widnes. No questions, can not afford the delay.
Lets hope the GONW has Carlisle's best interests at heart. Plenty of people that work there will consider Widnes to be in the North West.
Here's hoping we get the all clear.
