RESIDENTS in Sale are to hold a crisis meeting over a controversial plan to build a 57 bed care home.
A n application, which was submitted last April, is set to come before a future Trafford Council planning meeting and seeks to demolish a smaller building and bungalow and to build a part three storey and part four storey building to provide the care home, with a provision of parking at 2, Ashlands and 43 Ashton Lane.
A similar plan submitted a few years ago, was rejected by local authority councillors.
It is believed that planners are now recommending acceptance to the application, which residents fear will create traffic chaos if approved.
John Rafferty, one of the meeting organisers, said a total of 77 objections had been lodged with the local authority.
The meeting will be held at the Methodist Church hall, Carrington Lane/Ennerdale Drive, Ashton-on-Mersey on Saturday, from 11am to 12 noon.
