• I have moderated a comment which was somewhat abusive and derogatory to the individuals who are mentioned in the piece, i.e. local residents and family/carers of Tower College kids. I have left this abridged comment:
  "I have just finished perusing a totally biased piece of propaganda entitled Rainhill community newsletter.They are a small minority who are panicking because their property values may plummet."
  
  "I would like to think the vast majority of Rainhill residents will welcome this new establishment for not only offering new employment opportunities but also as a safe and much sought after place for any relatives requiring it. It could be one of their relatives."
  
  "There are hundreds of properties who have HIGH security units nearby,Scott clinic,T wards in Whiston hospital etc.
  so I hope that it is because of their "NOT ON MY DOORSTEP" attitude that will put off many residents from offering any support."

• I believe that the people writing these comments should do some research on the proposed development, especially around risk settings. Scott Clinic and Whiston are both medium secure units. Because of this and a new site being built in Warrington there is no local need for this facility. This is simply a private company trying to make as much profit as possible, at the expense of local Rainhill children. I am not opposed to mental health units - indeed they have an important part to play in our community and I have a relative who has had to use these facilities. However their location needs careful consideration both for the patients and for the local residents. I believe it is inappropriate to post this next to a school and within 400 metres of 3 other schools. In addition to this the development is on a massive scale, which will be detrimental to the local infrastrcuture especially the traffic around Mill Lane when parents are taking their children to and from St Barts, Oakdene and Tower College as well as the many workers trying to get onto Warrington Road in time for work in the morning.
  In addition to this the type of work undertaken requires specialist skills which are in short supply in Merseyside so the recruitment and employment will have to take place from further afield which will mean no local employment just more commuters on an already busy road

• I have just moved back to Rainhill after being down South for my job. One of the reasons I moved back was because I missed the community spirit of Rainhill and how everybody looks after each other. It appears that Rainhill has lost its community spirit and there is a "sod em" attitude as per the first comment which makes me rather ashamed. I'm sure if the residents had been made aware of your car park they would have helped and supported if not this is not the Rainhill I used to know

• I would like to say that I have lived on Mill Lane for the last 11yrs and I have no objection to the proposals for this building.I would only hope that the council plan for the increased traffic on this road as in peak time it can be a nightmare.However no one appears to raise any objections to the fact that Tower college use numerous coaches to transport a few children on a daily basis.

• Should Labour be elected in the by-election will the new Labour cllr declare an interest in the development and not vote on the issue?

• In response to your question, the application is due to decided at Planning Committee in a few weeks time. As Barrie is not a member of that committee, he would not be able to vote on the application.
