Residents gathered to express their concerns over a controversial new build estate proposed in Carleton.

People brought placards as passing traffic beeped in support of the protesters who want to stop the new homes being built on greenbelt land.

The proposals to build a new estate on land bordering Carleton, Poulton and Blackpool is attracting massive opposition from residents as well as Wyre councillors.

One of the residents said it ‘breaks their heart’ to see deer roaming through a nearby development site, which was recently caught on camera and is evidence that the wildlife are being disturbed from their habitat.

The development has been earmarked for a large area of farmland off The Lane, bounded by Blackpool Road and Blackpool Old Road and to the east of Carleton Crematorium.

If approved, it would be the latest development which has seen many hundreds of new homes built in the area in and around Poulton within the past five years.
