Tabled 25 February 2026 by Markus Campbell-Savours
That this House notes that despite the continued anguish of the residents of Burnside, Wigton, CCL Secure have still not removed the six foot metal security fence that, during the heavy rain in November 2025, trapped debris and contributed to the flooding of homes; acknowledges the existence of drone footage demonstrating the damming effect of the fence; further notes the eyesore created when CCL Secure installed the insufficiently permeable barrier in 2023 on land long used for recreation and public amenity; and calls on CCL Secure to remove the fence without delay, work with the community of Wigton to cconsider how the factory site can be secured, and restore the land for the use of the residents of Burnside.
