Cost Implications for Warburton Residents

There is no documentation held by the Council that addresses this issue.
However we can advise that should the costs of the Carrington relief Road
change or increase, there would be no special cost implications for
Warburton Residents. The Costs would be a matter for the Council as a
whole to address – and so the implications would be the same for all
residents of the Borough.

Partington Railway Line

Reference was made in the Scrutiny Committee to the fact that the railway
line through the area was in use until the 1980’s and that there remained
the potential for its eventual re-opening. The line is still controlled by
Network Rail. Reference to the use of the line can be found in TFGM
documents:

[2]https://tfgm.com/our-five-year-transport...

It is also mentioned in the supporting evidence for New Carrington in the
‘places for Everyone’ Plan:

Kate Green MP also supported the bid for feasibility funding to look at
the potential of the railway line. The following press story gives some
further detail:
