Re: Extension to the South Lancs Industrial Estate and the effect on Bryn Cross

Chris thanks for the words of support.

Makerfield Against Development protest group held a meeting in Bryn Labour Club on the 9h November 06 regarding this development. Four ward councils and residents from Bryn, Landgate and Nicole Mere attended the meeting. Following a detailed presentation on a large screen, the consensus was one of shock when the scale of this development and its consequences on the area was realised.

The environmental effects on anyone who lives in the area will be considerable as will the effect on anyone who needs to drive through the area for whatever reason. The current rush hour or two is bad enough but it will get worse if the developers have their way, they plan to construct a new road and major junction on the A49, it will be somewhere between Bryn Cross and Landgate.
