Traffic Impact from proposals at Bryn/Landgate.

If more industrial units, 465 houses, a 450 car-space supermarket are built on the land between Landgate and Bryn Rd, what impact will this have on the traffic through Ashton?

Some nice pics here - and a point well made.

Not many people in Ashton know about this. Just because they want to build it in Bryn doesn't mean that it wont have any effect in Ashton.

More HGVs for a start and the traffic jams at Bryn will have a knock on effect for all of us.

Not even got started on the increase in pollution.

If the proposals at Bryn get the go ahead all HGV traffic to it from the north will go through Ashton and Gerard St, all HGV traffic from the south will also go through Ashton because of the M6 junction layout. Ashton will become gridlocked. This has to be stopped. see www.keepbryngreen.co.uk for more details.

The developer is putting on a display of the proposals in Ashton library from the 14th to 24th of April.

For anyone who can't make it to the library but wishes to take part, I've posted some of the images and consultation details here, here and here. (I'm not sure if, by doing this, I've acted entirely within the rules of Flickr so might possibly be asked to take them down at some point.)

I'm surprised that the consultation isn't also running online. If you type in the url for the consultants' website -www.neamesutton.co.uk- you'll see that it's "coming soon", which seems a bit rum...

Thanks Clarkey.

Do you mind if I put a link to those from the Bryn Against Development Site?
