Is there an artist in the house?
Transport Solutions for Lancaster and Morecambe are making an appeal to the people of Lancaster and Morecambe to find an artist who can create a visual impression of the key features of the proposed Heysham M6 Link Road.
‘We approached Lancashire County Council with a request to see artist's impressions and other visual representations of the road’, said David Gate, Chairman of the group.
‘It was a request under the Freedom of Information Act, and they had 20 days to respond. We were surprised when they told us that no artist's impressions exist, as the County Council is currently spending hundreds of thousands of pounds surveying the route. It is the major road project in Lancashire. It will cause great damage to the area. You would have thought that before they went ahead, they would have had an idea what it would look like, and be able to show the public. People are very keen to see the fly overs, bridges and embankments so close to their homes. They want to assess the impact of the massive road. The County Council has arranged public exhibitions of the proposed road, but how can the public imagine the road without pictures? We appeal to any artist who can represent the road to contact the group.’
