Brinscall's Conservative Councillor Alison Hansford and Executive Councillor for Planning Alan Cullens have been vindicated as local Labour Councillor France and his Party hurriedly distributed a leaflet retracting their claim that up to 165 homes were planned for the nature trail behind Railway Road Brinscall.
The Labour Party had previously handed out a newsletter to Brinscall residents causing alarm by claiming that the Conservative Council were planning to build 165 homes on land behind Railway Road, whereas Chorley Council are proposing 32 across the whole of Wheelton and Withnell.
