Our market town will become urban sprawl
This despite fears expressed by Lancashire County Council Highways Department, who recommended refusal of the plan. It appears to me rather strange there does not appear to have been any comment one way or another from our MP, Mr Nigel Evans, regarding the fears of many of his constituents in Clitheroe. Surely he has something to say on all the recent planning decisions which are going to affect this constituency?
Needless to say, doubtless plenty will be heard from him on all subjects in 2015 when he is soliciting votes, if he is putting up for re-election.
