Meeting 14/08/2021

Thank you to all that attend the recent meeting at the Chapel. What a great attendance from residents at the caravan site who were clearly angry at Park Leisure’s attempt to increase the number of pitches on the site and the severe impact that would have on our small hamlet.

Generous donations were received to support the cause and we thank all who contributed to the fighting fund.

There was an enthusiasm to get involved with letters of objection and simple ways of objecting were explained to get the message accross that “we object strongly” and will continue our fight long after the application has been decided to stop this type of development from ever blighting our landscape and upsetting locals and caravan residents alike.

Unless the application is swiftly withdrawn. Our next endeavour “Think before you buy” will ensure buyers are aware of who and what they are buying into before upgrading or purchasing their “nightmare second home”.

Quote from ‘Yorkshire Post’

“I think we are in danger of oversupply and it could detract from what attracts people into the county” [Gareth Dadd – Deputy Leader of North Yorkshire County Council] – A quote equally applicable to our fight against this development over the border in Lancashire.

Flooding not an issue?

The present proposed developments green fields are at present playing their part in relieving any potential downpours from flooding and damaging the environment. Park Leisure want to tarmac and create hard standing pitches on there that won’t hold any surface water and discharge it at a rapid rate into the Ribble Ribble.

Do you think that will add to or alleviate this happening…
