But traffic is even worse on this road, because it is a major route to the motor way and the fact that so many pupil travel from outside of Hyndburn to the school. If you read the Travel Plan you will see just how many buses there are and the are that they serve. It was also highlighted in the Travel Plan that there is currently not enough car parking spaces for the members of staff at the school, the plans will only extend the car parking by 13 places.
Also the new building will completely overshadow the house opposite.
I do support more 6th Form provision for the children of Hyndburn, (we should not be creating an educational establishment for the children of Burnley and Pendle) but there needs to be a proper evaluation of the impact that it will have on the surrounding community.
Out of interest, which school does your son attend?
