HALEWOOD CARNIVAL POSTPONED UNTIL SATURDAY 31st AUGUST!
After many site visits this week, we have had to make the decision to postpone this year’s Carnival. Unfortunately due to the wet weather we have had over the last few weeks Hollies Field is waterlogged and unsafe for the Fair and Stalls to access.
We have therefore rescheduled for Saturday 31st August.
We look forward to seeing you all on the day.

They are proposing reduction in frequency of the 3A service and a major change to the 3 service which would see it no longer operating via Camberley Dr/Arncliffe Dr or Torrington Dr.
