I WISH to express dismay concerning the proposal of the new housing development on Milton Avenue, Clitheroe.
Where are we to park our cars on this narrow residential avenue, which is not built as a through road?
The congestion on Waddington Road is bad enough now, so if the development goes ahead, it will be so horrendous.
There are far too many houses being built on greenfield sites in the Ribble Valley.
How are the schools going to cope with the sudden over-population of the area? People are fighting for places now -- with more children it will only make matters worse.
Our health centre is too small now, so it will face the same consequence as our local schools.
Councillors should think again before granting permission for these plans, as they have been inadequately thought-out, and will put even more pressure on our already-stretched services.
GLADYS BAINS, Milton Avenue, Clitheroe.
