The Friends of Lever Park exists to protect the area from future developments like Go Ape, and to maintain the peace and beauty of the area unspoilt for future generations.

If the council can disregard its own constitution now, it can do it again.

If it can do it in Lever Park it can do it in Adlington, in Euxton, in Withnell – anywhere.

If you’ve had a planning application rejected by Chorley Council, how do you feel when Chorley doesn’t abide by its own planning rules in the case of Lever Park, but insists on declining your application for your extension because its ‘against council policy’?

So it’s vitally important that Bob and the Friends of Lever Park move heaven and earth to make sure that the council is properly accountable to its citizens now and in the future.
