12.05.05: County Council's concrete plans for the countryside.
Lancashire County Council is revealing its plans for the Heysham M6 Link road this week in a series of low key exhibitions around the area to be affected by the dual carriageway. But Transport Solutions for Lancaster and Morecambe ( TSLM ) have a few plans of their own. TSLM are mounting their own Alternative Public Exhibition at the Vale of Lune Rugby Club on Tuesday the 17th May, between 3 and 9pm.
"The County Council has so far failed to show us any artist’s impressions of this huge project, which would show the public just how destructive and invasive this road would be" said David Gate, Chair of TSLM.
"We decided to take the County Council’s plans and give them to a local artist to interpret. We think the results will make the public think twice about supporting a project which would destroy our countryside and replace it with miles of concrete and tarmac". "Everyone in the community will be welcome, because everyone would be affected. We will have some very interesting facts and pictures on display".
