WE have been notified by the local residents that over recent weeks, micro light aircraft have been using the Omega Site in Whittle Hall as an unofficial airfield.

CNT (the landowners) have not given authorisation for these flights. It is also uncontrolled airspace.

We have informed Warrington police of this matter and they are investigating the situation.

In the meantime, we would be interested to hear if any GUARDIAN readers have any information on these flights or know the reason for them.
