CONGRATULATIONS Mr Shawcross on a brilliant idea regarding an alternative site for a freight terminal in the St Helens area (Star Letters, April 7).

We have already pointed out for a number of years to St Helens Council about the problems we encounter daily with parked vehicles along the stretch of Park Road North in both directions. It makes it difficult to drive in or out of our driveways.

However, although a number of steps could be taken, according to council staff, and and agreement from councillors to look at it, we are still waiting a year after contact was made.

We have problems now in this small area of Newton-le-Willows with traffic. What a nightmare getting even more traffic on our roads.                                                                                                                                                   Dissatisfied ratepayers of Newton-le-Willows
