COUNCILLOR Nick Peel, I don't like the way you say people on the Sutton Estate, Deane, will sign petitions without even reading them.
May I remind you the petition was brought to our doors by a very nice gentleman who explained the reason for the objection, and I added to it saying the people of Sutton Estate already have enough trouble pulling out on to Wigan Road, and also crossing it.
What is it going to be like when schools are out, and during peak periods, if there are another 14 dwellings to add to our trouble?
If you stand on Sutton Road you will see a wonderful view of Winter Hill - which we have enjoyed for 40 years - and, with three-storey buildings going up, this will be blocked out.
The Sutton Estate, Deane, has been smothered with development all around it since 1964, so I think we are justified in objecting to these flats - but what's the use, our opinions go unheard.
