THANK you for the comments on the meeting at Hyndburn Lancashire Local.

I would like to thank County Councillor Doreen Pollitt's suggestion of a working group involving all three areas - Rossendale, Hyndburn and hopefully, Blackburn, to solve this on-going problem of heavy lorries using our roads.

This problem does not just affect Hudhey Road and Roundhill Road, it affects most of the surrounding areas, particularly Cross Street North with HGVs coming off the Accrington by-pass at Carrs Industrial Estate to take a short cut to Hudhey Road.

Not only is there damage to the structure of the properties with the vibration but residents are reluctant to take their children and pets walks because of the fear of being injured by these vehicles.

Some of these vehicles are going so fast that if they hit a stone it flies so high, it hits the bedroom windows.

Rossendale and Oswaldtwistle have some wonderful countryside, let the local residents enjoy it.
