Respondent: Miss Amelia Skinner

Representation Summary:

Priest Lane is already congested and further development will only add to this. Land is needed for recreational space whether on this site or other parts within the borough.

I do not want these sites to be developed for housing. There is already too much traffic on the Priests Lane, it is very busy and often queues up the road as I walk to school which means lots of car fumes. There is only one pavement and the road can be difficult to cross because it is hard to see, especially at the top by Middleton Hall Road. I would not like to cycle on the road because it is not safe. It is a shame to build on old playing fields, especially when they could be used by the schools next to them. If there are more people in the town, we will need spaces in the town for recreation, and it would be good to have open spaces we can walk to and play in rather than driving to the country parks.
