Fwd: Traffic at mowings lane
Dear Sir,
We are writing to inform you of our TOTAL REJECTION of the plans to increase the traffic flow through Mowings Lane as part of the Union Lane development plan.
Our objections are
* The additional 100 plus vehicles that will pass by our home destroying the tranquil setting in which the property was built.
* The Safety of residents as they travel along this already narrow road
* The impact on the Safety of Residents during winter when the road is covered in snow or ice which union lane traffic will have to use and expect to be cleared by us, this road is already blocked and dangerous at this time.
* The additional delivery vehicles and visitor traffic at all times of the day and night.
* The impact on the road surface and on house prices.
* The apparent disregard the council has for its residents by lack of time given to consultation which gives the impression of paying us lip service for an already decided plan.
The Union Lane development should be kept at union lane the council are overdeveloping Ulverston which cannot support what we have and impacting misery on residents far removed from the issue which has only brought unnecessary stress to what was and should remain a quite culdesac.
The Council should be sued at the first opportunity when and it is a case of when the increased traffic causes an incident which would not have occured in the current status quo.
As the council have suggested a one way system would this mean an alternate route for us to get to our own houses again because of a thoughtless plan disrupting our way of life, we should not have to have the added worry of writing letters of this nature when the original plan was contained to union lane.
Having both been born and bred in Ulverston and having both used Gill Banks all our lives the possible destruction of habitat for wildlife and the owl and bat population is one which we also find appalling, these creatures unlike ourselves do not get to voice an oppinion they just get displaced, we hope the council see sense and do not displace either the wildlife or the trust of the residents of this community.
Yours Sincerely
Mr & Mrs Atkinson
