What does Pannal do?

I attended the meeting re congestion in Pannal Memorial Hall. NYCC and Pannal Parish Council were there. A good number of villagers turned up all concerned with congestion in Pannal. Now this is how I look at it. HBC has gone mad and is allowing thousands of houses to be built. They are all expensive so who are they for.? Is it people that live and work in Leeds, Bradford. York and want to be away from their place of work? I cannot answer this. I have lived in Pannal nearly all my life. I live on Main Street so I know what goes on re traffic. We are a rat run for traffic going and coming from above places. Cars stationery pollution. We are also going to have all the houses on the old Dunlopillo site. That is a fact and the infrastructure is not in place. How will the schools cope, the doctors where is takes about three weeks to get an appointment, Harrogate hospital. HBC has not put out any plans to tell us how these places will manage. All they seem to be saying is we want to build new roads and thousands of houses. We shall put traffic lights all over so you will get fed up and agree with us. We shall put traffic lights on Rudding Lane off the Wetherby Road and no one will ever see anyone working there and the lights will be there for weeks. As I type this not a single car has passed all morning. Time now 1.30pm. Admittedly there is congestion with the school traffic and also the rat run but at certain times peace reigns. Do we want a road bypassing Pannal village, to have one means to build one across green fields. Looking years ahead would it have been better to have a road across the green fields or more and more housing . One has only to look around Harrogate to see housing is the Council's plan.Does one put a roundabout at the top of Station Road and the A61 Leeds Road? Would that help or make it more attractive to rat runners. Does one put a roundabout at the bottom of Burn Bridge Lane onto the A61 Leeds Road taking the traffic away from Pannal Village but putting more traffic on Burn Bridge Road? Or do we Put up with it? We cannot get away from the fact that we have housing on Walton Park, Crimple Meadows, Pannal Green, Rosedale. Burn Bridge and then there will be housing on the Dunlopillp site. We make our own congestion. Having new roads built will not take that away. We all have to leave and go back to our homes. Sad old blog this time with nothing to brighten it up. Henry the Eighth one famously said who will rid me of this troublesome priest. Could that be applicable to HBC.
