HAVING read the Citizen's letters on the western bypass over the years, there seems to be quite a clear divide between people who live in south and west Lancaster and people who live in Heysham and Morecambe on the issue of the Western Bypass. It may appear to be common sense to you but to many Lancaster residents the western bypass is simply an excuse to bring in large scale housing developments that will spoil our our environment and quality of life. I'm not a Green but that's why I and many Lancaster residents will continue to vote green.

The answer is there for Hilton Dawson and those people who live towards Heysham and Morecambe. If you feel it is critical that you have the bypass, then route it through your own back yard north of Lancaster ! That's what the government inspector has recommended and the government has said they would support it! Or is it the case that you would rather the bypass run through somebody else's back yard than your own !
