Cleanup note
Hey all, sorry to put this up, but since the districts were merged into this article, the buses section has become v. confusing, please don't totally strip it out, it just needs rewriting. I wrote the info when Locking Stumps, Gorse Covert and Oakwood were different articles, and since the merge, it even confuses me lol. Thanks for your help Danny 13:41, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Buses etc
The section on transport links is better since the time tables have been removed, however I still think there is too much detail. All of this information is available on the Warrington Borough Council website, and it would be more useful to provide a good link there. It's not as if Birchwood is the only place with buses. The article would be improved with - pictures of the Birchwood centre; more history (Birchwood during the war etc); Birchwood's place as part of Warrington New Town - original plans, how these panned out; Birchwood Carnival; Birchwood Bonfire etc etc. Royalof 20:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Birchwood part of Lancashire
In the introduction it says "Birchwood is a town and civil parish in the north-eastern part of Warrington, Cheshire .... Historically a part of Lancashire", however since the Local Government Act 1972 Warrington has been part of Cheshire. The area now known as Birchwood in 1972 consisted of in a large part the Royal Ordnance Factory, and the estates in Birchwood were not built until the late 1970's - 1980's. As far as I can ascertain Birchwood didn't exist as a developed entity when the land was part of Lancashire, and so it would appear not to be correct to say that Birchwood was historically part of Lancashire. Unless anyone has any evidence for a developed Birchwood entity (known as Birchwood) prior to 1972 I will correct this. Royalof (talk) 22:49, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
