Fairclough Street, in any case is being used as a Covid-19 testing site at the moment, so it is closed, and in normal times, no one parks on there at night, and the local kids use it as a skateboard park, so if anyone parks their car on there at night, then the kids will use it has a take off ramp

Newton le Willows train station was recently converted in to a full Park and Ride train station, and the car park it has at the back is massive, and it is free to rail users, and it is a really nice station now, but the car park is not secure, and at night your car maybe the only car parked on there, with only the local kids for company, so I would give that place a bit of thought before using it.

As regards parking in the streets opposite the station, there is a block of flats there with some iffy types in it, and at night when everyone comes home from work, including the residents of those flats, then it is hard to find a parking space around there, so it is up to you, but parking there overnight, could make you unpopular with the local pond life.

So you want a secure type of car park with CCTV and plenty of folk knocking about, which is what you want, and a car park which is also used by local residents as the place where they park their car, so your car is not on its own in that car park, and a car park just around the corner from Earlestown Police Station, which is manned by the police 24hrs a day, and how about that car park also being opposite a car park which is for the exclusive use of the police officers, and which is also equipped with its own CCTV

Does all that sound to good to be true.

Have look at this link, and it is a google maps street view link, and that is the car park at the side of Earlestown Town Hall, and you can scroll that picture around 360°

If you scroll it around to the left, you will see a shop and in the street at the side of the shop, you will see that police personnel only car park, and if you look over to the right, the tall building behind that row of property is Earlestown Police Station.

If folk cannot scroll the picture around, if they are on a phone or something like that, then here is a link to the view of that shop and police car park.

Last year I went to Tesco at Earlestown, too doo some shopping, and it was closed, because the police and fire service thought that it and the rest of Earlestown was going to burn down, and they wanted it evacuated.

I took a video of it https://youtu.be/ge5Uj01R4Hs

Another video of it https://youtu.be/GnIxv34G04E

That was the same day that Tonker was at the Recycling Centre, which is what went up in flames, so I think that Tonker burned it down because he couldn't''t go to Spain
