I have raised issues with United Utilities over their proposals to use Moss Bank Road and Manor House Close as an access route for pipeline work in nearby fields.

Local Labour councillors and I met with residents to discuss their concerns. I have pressed United Utilities to find alternative access points and to work with residents in the local area. They need to give assurances that disruption during the works is kept to a minimum and that once completed remediation work will take place to bring the road and site back to its original condition.
