Councillor Alf Clempson, has voiced concerns over damage from building traffic and thousands of tonnes of hardcore being used to stabilise land for housing developments in Poulton, Lancashire, including one being built by Redrow in Carr Head Lane. He claims the land is not good to build on, citing the amount of hardcore required, and suggests the market town will suffer from over development, with further permission granted for more homes on nearby sites, including Holts Lane. This is not good land to build on, neither is Holt Lane, we’re starting to see that. The council said it had received a number of complaints about the site but that they were unable to comment as there was an ongoing investigation. Steve Greenhalgh turned down an invitation to hold talks over the site.
