15/10/2002 - Major new works are going on to revitalize the town square, after in 1996 the Windmill center renovation, a new further development is taking place.
First Pice of the sceame has finished, the controversial town square near the library, which only a few years back was rebuilt into a lovely fountain, seating area with tree's and ornamental rocks. has been rebuilt again, it's now flat, with 'designer' lamps and 'designer' seats. the general feeling is of dislike and boredom at this designer development, the council have defended there actions, saying that this new area will be less prone to vandalism.
Wispiers breeze that the Hale Bank Asda is to be moved into the town center with these new developments, doing what many consider a bad thing to the availability of produce in widnes. many will have to brave the town center late at night if they wish to buy things, known for gangs and drug users.
