The County Council is consulting residents on a £20,000 Local Safety Scheme for Ashton Road, including pedestrian refuges by Bridge Road and Pointer Court, the relocation and upgrade of bus facilities, and cycle lane markings near Thornfield. Residents of Ashton Road should have received a copy of the plans.
Cllr Chris Coates said “In the last 5 years, 19 collisions have caused injuries here. We’ve been pushing for action for many years, so I welcome these proposals.”

Green Councillors have sent in their submissions to the Public Inquiry into the Centros development. Cllr Chris Coates said ” With shops closing in the City almost every week it is even more important that this massive shopping development is defeated.”
Could your street benefit from a spring clean? If so, the Council wants to hear from you. Under the council’s Street Pride scheme special hit squads move in to streets across the district to give them a thorough clean. Services provided include street cleaning, gully emptying, minor highway repairs, weeding and tree pruning.
The controversial ‘Castle View’ shopping development plans for the Canal Corridor have been called-in for a public inquiry by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. Bulk Ward Green Councillor John Whitelegg said “I am absolutely delighted about this news. This development is bad news for Lancaster and bad news for Bulk Ward and we will now get a chance to put all the evidence before an independent inspector at a public inquiry. We have prepared for this inquiry and are ready to go.”
