Oppose
Please explain your reasons/add your comments below
I STRONGLY OPPOSE any development on this site. It has been suggested that employment and food retail could be put on this site.
I wish to object on the following points
1. This is an important Green Gap area after leaving Ulverston, before entering Swarthmoor, the area is also outside the Development Boundary of Ulverston.
2. The A590 is already incredibly dangerous and is congested, frequently stationary with accidents and roadworks. Any further development especially a superstore would be untenable and this road runs through villages and residential areas.
3. We are saturated with supermarkets. In Barrow 1 in 4 town centre shops have closed since the arrival of Tesco etc. Ulverston would be decimated and jobs would be lost in the town centre.It would lose its appeal as a market and tourist town.Any low paid retail jobs would be of low added value.Ulverston needs to concentrate on providing hi tech employment zones.
