According to the Warrington Guardian, who broke the news, as it stands, the service area has 314 spaces for cars and an additional 305 spaces dedicated to HGVs. Under the proposals, the number of car parking spaces would almost double to 608, with HGV parking slots increasing to 368.
The proposal has been sent to Warrington Borough Council and the application is currently in the initial screening process used to determine whether a development is appropriate or not.
Those behind the plans reportedly do not anticipate the project shall cause delays on either the M6 or the M56. They also stress that the expansion will create minimal visual or noise pollution.
