Heronby Will Worsen The A19 / York Traffic Chaos
Heronby Will Add 1000s Of Extra Cars To The A19 Traffic Chaos From Selby Through To Fulford, Fishergate, Into York and Beyond.
Selby District Council have failed to engage with York City Council on their objections to the extra congestion on the A19 caused by the Heronby site. Nor is there any evidence of consultation with neighbouring authorities.
Accidents, fatalities and pollution will increase. The residents Of Selby, Barlby, Riccall, Escrick, Deighton, Naburn, Fullford, Fishergate & York know how bad the A19 traffic is now: Halt Heronby Say ‘No’ To worsening the existing A19 / York traffic chaos.
Heronby Will Concrete Over Crops / Quality Agricultural Land.
84% of the Heronby site is currently in production and yields around 4 tonnes/acre. Based on the 496 acres currently in cereal production, Heronby proposes to take £575,000 of food supply out of the market, at a time of food shortages and rising prices. Halt Heronby agree with The Government Food Strategy (June, 2022) that recognises the need for domestic food security, and to strengthen food supply chains. Clearly SDC and the promoters of Heronby disagree.
