APC have been made aware of a housing developer being interested in the land off Prescott road. There is no planning application associated with this at the moment; any comments submitted on the website: https://prescotroadtowngreen.co.uk. Are purely for the developer and not the planning authority.

Charles Church are in the early stages of bringing forward proposals for Prescot Road, Town Green. We are excited to share our emerging masterplan, hear from residents and gather local perspectives to help shape a community that works for all.

Major changes to hospital services in West Lancashire and Sefton are being planned, which could include the closure of the children's Accident and Emergency unit in Ormskirk.

The NHS said closing the current A&E department in Ormskirk and moving it to Southport was its "preferred option".

It said it would be £45m cheaper than having a combined A&E department in Ormskirk and would address "inefficiencies, workforce pressures, and fragmented care delivery".

A meeting was set to agree a 13-week formal consultation. The local consultation will take place in Aughton on the 23rd September at the Ministry Centre on Long Lane and you will need to register to attend.
Aughton Parish Council is recommending that we support the moving of the entire current A&E back to Ormskirk, on the basis not only that this is the more geographically central part of the catchment area, but also reflecting the ongoing and increasing travel problems approaching Southport. The age demographics of the two areas also suggests a much higher proportion of children live on the West Lancashire side of the area.
