A proposal to smash the front of Westhoughton Town Hall’s historic red brick building and replace it with large glass windows has been given the go-ahead by Tory councillors. Sign our petition against the plans.

The proposal, which will also see the town hall converted into two restaurants and a cafe, was approved by the Tory executive cabinet member.

The Tories have not proposed community use, despite Westhoughton’s growing population with thousands more houses being built and community facilities reducing.

Residents have reacted angrily to the news:

The Liberal Democrat team in Westhoughton is calling on the Tory-run administration to not go ahead with the destruction of the town hall’s facade.

Please help us by joining other Westhoughton residents in signing our petition and sharing it with your friends.
