●● PLANNING development at former Oakenhead Resource Centre gets green light (‘Housing estate gets nod - despite pupil safety fears’, June 22)

Paula Jane McLaughlin:

Another thing for Rawtenstall to moan about. Move with the times people. You’re stuck in the dark ages

Graham Taylor:

The parking is already bad on Haslingden Old Road at school time but if you assume 2 cars for every house it’s under 40. Assume only two thirds of these cars will come and go in peak periods, it’s an additional 30 car movements per day

Chris Durrant:

I’m not disagreeing but we also need an up to date road network, extra schools, doctors surgeries and dentists to support the increasing population. However, we’ve seen none of the above built yet! The council are thinking of only one thing, revenue!

Gary Cunliffe:

Yet again the line “benefits from good transport links” is in another planing application. What transport links?

Julie Nixon:

Congestion will get worse, nowhere to park at school collection time. Also the main pavement is going!

Keith Trickett:

Glad I am not trying to get through the lights at Burnley Road with all those extra cars coming down the hill

Cathy Ashworth:

Maybe a bus pick up for each school would cut parents’ need to drive their children to/from school

Rachel Coffey:

I worked for George and Stella many happy memories.

Bev Nixon:

That brings back memories. The monkey and the Mynah bird!

Nathan Brown:

That parrot bit my brother :)

Jodie Leigh Holt:

That parrot bit me hahahahaha I still loved it.
