I have lived on this estate for nearly 20 years, and it is a beautiful place to live, with a very calming atmosphere. The estate has a lot of elderly residents, most have lived here their whole lives.The proposed new build will completely change the whole feel of the estate, and make it feel much more enclosed and claustrophobic and will not fit in the the existing estate. Issues with drainage flooding, increased traffic and a lack of green open space will have a huge impact on our community.
This is an incredible place, arguably the most loved by local people and repeat visitors for escaping into the fells. I am deeply concerned United Utilities has only one goal in mind (to ditch responsibility and save money) and is not considering all possible options (we believe the surveyors, Jacobs, offered these) to manage this site sensitively for people and the environment
This is an incredible place, arguably the one most loved by local people for escaping into nature. I am very concerned United Utilities only has one goal in mind (to lose responsibility for the weir and save money) and is not considering all possible options to manage this site, short and long-term.
I have lived locally to Crummock Water for over 30 years and visit the lake to walk or swim weekly. This is one of the last remaining areas of the Lake District which is relatively unspoiled. Please do not destroy this beautiful area. The impact visualisations from United Utilites, particularly around the boat house, appear to be misleading in the amount of exposed beach that will result. And what about the impact on the islands at the south end of the lake where birds nest?
Crummock is a beautiful UNESCO site for many generations to enjoy. The proposed plan puts this at risk. Having visited many times the only solution would be assisted natural recovery as opposed to weir removal, enabling future generations the opportunity to enjoy this beauty spot and allow this lake to remain unspoilt not only for the residents, the tourists but most importantly the wildlife and fauna. Every action causes a reaction, ensure yours is for the grace of good.
I have visited Crummock Water many times over the years i have lived in Cumbria. It is an important part of the Lake District giving access to activities which are beneficial to peoples well being. The changes proposed will destroy this as well as having a devastating effect on the environment
It's a completely unnecessary desecration of one of the most beautiful lakes in the country. Myself and tens of thousands of people love this lake, and not only that but animals rely on it too. Not only will it plummet the tourism, but it will too the wildlife population.
