We the undersigned, object to the proposals to build over 350 new residential properties, supermarket and industrial units on the green fields at Landgate-Bryn near Wigan. We believe that there will be an unacceptable impact on our community’s infrastructure such as schools, medical access and significant increase in traffic problems. This area is of great importance to local residents and its destruction will deprive local people of an area of natural beauty.
We support the campaign to stop the Landgate-Bryn development and call on developers ‘Greenbank’s’ to withdraw their application and Wigan council to oppose the destruction of this green field site.

Bryn has very little green left and these houses would take away a lovely view. It will impact on everyone in many ways who travels along the road and who lives here and loves the view.
Traffic problems will be worse. Driving into Ashton at the library lights makes an awful impression of Ashton with shabby, closed and shuttered shps at the junction. Spend money on developing on Ashton instead of destroying the natural beauty we have.
The traffic in this area is gridlocked at times now. Pollution and air quality is dreadful. Why make it worse and impact on the health of Bryn people?
This will not benefit us, but provide more pollution, more traffic, more noise, less countryside. Why do we need this development - we don't, we don't need another supermarket - we already have 3 within a mile radius. We don't need another industrial site - there is one up the road. This whole development is absurd, wrong and it is NOT WANTED! Greenbank go away!
While there are empty industrial units on the South Lancs industrial Estate and even opposite on the Wheatlea Industrial Estate, empty shop premises in Wigan and Ashton and a need for a by-pass from junction 25 to the industrial estate, why the hell do we need this development?
It will destroy the area .there are not enough dentists.doctors jobs.to even support a city .it is not needed
Another Green Field site being developed. Isn't there enough brown field sites around??? the impact for travel, pollution and infrastructure in Ashton will be horrendous

This area of natural beauty must not be destroyed for the sake of corporate greed as it supports an abundance of wildlife and is the last bit of greenfield in bryn .there is also the potential problem of flooding and pollution of local waterways and increased traffic pollution which is already well above the legal limit
