The traffic through Carnforth is a disgrace. The new Heysham by pass will have a negligible affect on the traffic through our town. Traffic lights in front of Tesco are VERY badly programmed and are one of the worst causes of traffic. If there was a roundabout instead of traffic light the traffic would improved greatly. Building new houses across the area is going to bring our area to a complete standstill.

There is a lot of industrial areas, brownfield sites, where housing should be proritised for example near the train station in Carnforth. Also the old quarry area is perfect for housing and should be explored long before housing applications are approved to build on our greenbelt.

Looking specifically at Warton... The area is AONB. It cannot be allowed to allow housing to be built within this area.
Are there any topics or issues that you think we have missed or that you wish to raise?

Do you have any comments to make on the Draft Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report (Nov 2015) associated with the Issues and Options Discussion Paper?
