A HISTORIC railway building in Cheshire could be turned into a new community facility.

Great Sankey Parish Council is looking for steering group members to help convert Sankey Station into a new community hub.

The station building is not used with almost no trains now stopping at the station since the opening of Warrington West.

Applicants need to be based in or have a strong connection with Great Sankey, and have business skills or experience of working with or supporting local communities.

1. What is your connection to Great Sankey?

3. What would you like to see the station used for?
