The enlarged A66 should be built to the NORTH of the present road in the area opposite the lane to Great Musgrave. There is plenty of land available there for a large dual carriageway, and the road could leave the army premises untouched. Such a road would avoid disrupting present houses and roads, and would be a simple way to avoid spoiling the good growing areas to the south of the present A66. A northern route would be very attractive to visitors driving along it, given its views of the lovely fells; at present this land in unavailable and wasted. It would also mean that access to Great Musgrave would remain unaffected and the fields on that side could continue their harvests, grazing, etc – so valuable to local people. There are many people to support this plan and we hope that you take it seriously.
