If nothing is done to stop this over development it will not be too long before Longridge is completely engulfed by Prestons expanding borders.
Time and time again busineses are sold off and someone always sees 'the main chance' along with the prospect to make a quick buck on the backs of those made redundant.... IT IS WAY WAY TOO EASY buy it cheap and sell off to the developers. No risk, no loyalty, no guts.

Then there are the green field sites granted for development by a series of faceless, spineless planning comitees and local council officials. Green fields are green fields... farm them or let nature do as nature does. No excuse to build on these areas.
The Longridge birthrate is not on the increase, so why increase the size of the town? The Longridge employment area is not increasing so why increase the size of the town? Greed is not an acceptable reason.
