A ROAD in Risley that has been blighted by flytipping and susceptible to the travelling community has been closed.
Warrington Borough Council’s traffic committee has made the decision to 'stop up' Silver Lane.
This is to prevent vehicles from parking there overnight.
Cllr Chris Vobe made representations to the committee on behalf of residents of Croft and nearby Newchurch.
He said the restrictions and installation of parking bays would fit with plans to turn the former Risley landfill site into a nature reserve.
Cllr Vobe added: "With this project, we will be able to put an end to traveller incursions, stop the disgraceful incidents of flytipping we have witnessed and provide parking facilities for the forthcoming community nature reserve on the former Risley landfill site."
