The bids for job hasn’t been reviewed yet. It will take about 18 months to review the bids and select the right company for the project.
Halton MP Derek Twigg says;
Ideally I would like no charge for local residents but it doesn’t look like that is going to be possible in the current financial climate.
“We’ve got to try and find the best deal for local people and I will be pushing for that and I know the other councillors in Halton want to try and achieve that as well.
“We’ve got to look at the figures, look at the money now, and come 2016 when it plans to be open we will need to take account of the situation then as well.
