WINSFORD Town Council has applied for planning permission from Vale Royal Borough Council to build a portable changing room on Verdin playing fields.

There are several football teams playing there as well as other sports teams who currently have to get changed in cars or around the pitch.

Bob Barton, from New Images Youth Club, said: "There used to be a wooden changing room at the field, but it got burned down.

"We have been talking about a replacement for a long time and now, with the increase in users, including a girls' football team, the changing rooms are more important than ever."
