A children’s play area in Atherton will close as a new sewage tank is installed next to it following council's decision to green light new plans.

The park in Wigan is currently closed to the public due to work on on the detention tank began and the play equipment has been removed.

The site neighbouring Collier Brook, which contains a playground and football pitch, will reopen once work is complete. United Utilities’ assets are in the west side of the park in the form of a brick built M.C.C Kiosk and pumping station, manholes, draw pits, detention tank, and their concrete walls, the design and access statement said.
The scheme of works will provide additional storage to the wastewater network and reduce untreated spills to Collier Brook and to comply with water quality standards. The kiosk will house the control panels associated with the detention tank.
“The proposed scheme of works is necessary to provide additional storage, in the form of a detention tank, that would replace the existing within the park, to the wastewater network so as to reduce untreated spills to Collier Brook and to enable compliance with water quality standards, as set by the Environment Agency,” an officer’s report stated. “The proposed kiosk will measure 8m by 3m and is 3m high.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill on Monday that extends the state’s $330 million tax incentive for film and TV production. The program will be extended for five years through 2030. For the first time, the credit will be refundable, meaning that companies like Netflix that have little or no state tax liability can receive cash back from the state. That change has been estimated to cost $200 million. The bill is the result of more than a year of bargaining between Hollywood studios, entertainment unions and state lawmakers. In addition to extending the credit, the bill also includes an incentive for productions to hire a diverse workforce, both on screen and behind the camera.

Talk about not reading the room correctly.In perhaps one of the most tone-deaf and spectacularly abysmal attempts at tongue-in-cheek humor, participants in New York City’s annual Drag March chanted “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.
