Any one got the phone number / email address for Anderson transport Ormskirk..

I was speaking to an electrician yesterday, about what route he'd taken from Skelmersdale to get to Southport. I asked if he'd travelled via Burscough and he laughed- "No chance- I avoid Burscough like the plague. It only takes 1 lorry to park up and the job stops" he said. "The traffic's...

Earlier this week George Pratt was the surprise new incumbent of the Chairmanship of Burscough Parish Council, following a surprise coup d'état over Brian Bailey in a meeting with only a few members of the public and David Crompton in attendance. It's only a matter of months since George had to...

I went past Churchfields early this morning, and when I managed to get past the pig ignorant driver blocking the footpath and cyclepath with a van, I noticed another event being set up. It looks to be a cyclo cross demo, a circuit has been marked out and parts already damaged by vans driving on...

What has happened to The Packet House - checked on fb for opening times etc and it says closed under new management? :confused:

Is there a limit on how long you can "park" a narrowboat on a canal? I thought it was 2 weeks but we have one in Rufford that has been here for nearly 4 weeks. Anyone any idea?

They resurfaces the pavements in Burscough Street recently,and it looked better than the old patchwork quilt that was there. Then along came an electrical contractor and dug a hole through it in the first week. If that wasn't bad enough, we now see 2 other contractors digging holes through the...
