I AM really concerned about the vast amount of redevelopment happening in Carlisle and our lovely, rural villages.

We are losing so many green agricultural fields. We are supposed to be a rural city, not a concrete jungle.

The villages are being ruined by housing estates and these new 10,000 houses being built soon as absolutely dreadful.

Not many people I have asked actually want it.

We cannot sustain this amount of development so that southerners can buy our cheaper homes.

I fear that Carlisle will end up like Birmingham and Manchester. Please stop before it is too late.
