WITH regard to the Moorhead, Accrington, sports development, the area of land involved is too close to surrounding houses. The activities planned will impinge adversely on the lives of residents.

I object to the prospect of floodlights, noise, traffic, litter etc -- seven days a week, 52 weeks a year and 10pm closing which would affect sleep patterns of children, senior citizens etc.

The presence of a bar is unnecessary -- the local facilities are adequate.

T WHITEHEAD (Mr), Orange Street, Accrington.
