I WOULD like to take this opportunity to congratulate all involved in the campaign to save Saltersford Corner in Holmes Chapel from more unwanted housing development as the proposals were once again refused permission by Cheshire East Council’s planning committee on Wednesday.

This victory is down in no small part to the role played by the dedicated team of local young people known as the Saltersford Six. Anyone who has witnessed the knowledge, passion and commitment displayed by each of them would be hard pressed to argue against extending the vote to 16 and 17 year olds.

Now let’s prepare for the appeal.
