Permission was given for a three year period for an additional 500 cars and it is hoped that the permit will not be renewed. How many unis allow cars near their site let alone encourage students to bring cars. Public transport is available even a free private bus service is laid on. The uni is now too large to be in a quiet market town

]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:34:44 UTC 3477039 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3452322?utm_medium=rss The college seems to be out-growing Ormskirk and the ratio of student accommodation to none student accommodation, in my opinion, is already too high.

Over the past two years I have been receiving treatment for cancer and am at my wits end unable to get a night’s sleep due to the unreasonable actions of drunken students rampaging through our town.

]]> Wed, 9 Apr 2008 11:32:37 UTC 3422893 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3422497?utm_medium=rss Residential areas are already becoming untidy due to littering/vomit and unkempt student housing. The students themselves appear to have little regard for their neighbours. Ormskirk is gradually and noticibly losing the 'market-town' appeal it once had.

]]> Wed, 9 Apr 2008 09:56:25 UTC 3422497 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3422238?utm_medium=rss I strongly and wholeheartedly support this petition. Edge Hill Have had their own way for far too long. We do not want further students in Ormskirk, either off or on campus. Good Luck in yyour endeavours.

]]> Wed, 9 Apr 2008 08:51:52 UTC 3422238 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3422213?utm_medium=rss When my family and I moved to Ormskirk four yrs ago,the place was a nice quite,clean and tidy little town.Now with the overpopulation of parasite students,the place has been slowly turned into a sewer.

]]> Wed, 9 Apr 2008 08:42:46 UTC 3422213 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3410204?utm_medium=rss The number of students attending Edge Hill will soon exceed the number of residents in ormskirk. The demands on the infrastructure of the town will soon become overwhelming.
This is not confined to housing but applies particularly to our roads and traffic systems

]]> Mon, 7 Apr 2008 03:18:04 UTC 3410204 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3404153?utm_medium=rss As your local councillor I fully support efforts to change Edge Hill's plans and create a University of quality of which we can be proud rather than a relentlessly increasing quantity.

I oppose the planning for expanding the student accomodation at Edge Hill Campus.

]]> Wed, 2 Apr 2008 11:41:43 UTC 3387943 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3387820?utm_medium=rss IT IS TIME THAT THOSE AT THE UNIVERSITY REALIZE THAT FURTHER EXPANSION WITHIN ORMSKIRK IS NOT AN OPTION THAT RESIDENTS ARE FED UP OF STUDENT ACCOMODATION TAKING PRIORITY- THAT THE GREEN BELT IS JUST THAT THE GREEN BELT.

]]> Wed, 2 Apr 2008 11:21:56 UTC 3387820 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3387301?utm_medium=rss I live mainly in Edinburgh now but I actually opted to get a degree at Lancaster University which is large enough to cater for large amounts of students even though I lived nr Edge Hill. The council should not allow any more expansion to Edge Hill - even though it has managed to gain itself a university status! This does not automatically qualify it to expand to a ridicultous area around Ormskirk - think about what the locals want very carefully it is their town dont be selfish! Younger person

]]> Wed, 2 Apr 2008 09:57:12 UTC 3387301 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3387265?utm_medium=rss I live mainly in Melbourne Australia but have been visiting family regularly eac year. I have been absolutely flabogasted at the impact Edge Hill College has made to our town that I was brought up in. I have said for years the roads will be congested and I was right! Students dont care who they upset when they have been out drinking, dropping rubbish in residents gardens or trespassing - we have dealt with one or two face to face ourselves - but just warned them not to do it again. So no more!

]]> Wed, 2 Apr 2008 09:53:34 UTC 3387265 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3387182?utm_medium=rss I am a retired ex head master of a large comprehensive school at Whiston, so I understand the need for education etc etc.
However, Edge Hill has grown to the size of a University status already and the town is small unable to cope with congestion on its main road where the college is located, together with Wigan Road another main road always congested. We want to attract custom to our town but this does not help! I live nearby and I dont want any more expansion here look for sites elsewhere!

]]> Wed, 2 Apr 2008 09:41:12 UTC 3387182 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3387129?utm_medium=rss Edge Hill was after all initially just a small college - we have seen it grow to an extraordiary size since we moved here over 40 years ago. Students cause congestion, litter, take up local housing, dont pay council tax, are responsible for alot of trouble and residents in both Ruff Lane and St Helens Road not to mention Wigan Road have been complaining for many years now. So no we dont want more expansion - is there no where else you could expand it would be worth looking into! for our sakes!

]]> Wed, 2 Apr 2008 09:35:44 UTC 3387129 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3387096?utm_medium=rss Edge Hill is taking over Ormskirk a small historic market town which can not cope with increasing amounts of students - it was after all initially just a small college. Students cause congestion, litter, take up local housing, dont pay council tax, are responsible for alot of trouble not all! and residents in both Ruff Lane and St Helens Road not to mention Wigan Road have been bearing the worst of the trouble for many yrs now. So no we dont want more expansion - find another site! try Skem!

]]> Wed, 2 Apr 2008 09:32:35 UTC 3387096 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3387053?utm_medium=rss No bad news enough is enough now Edge Hill! No more expansion!I lived in Ormskirk all my life and I work in Aughton. During this time the congestion down St Helens Road has become so bad that if you want to drive to somewhere down this road and get back to Aughton you have to go down the back roads to do so! unbelievable because it could take half an hour to get back into Ormskirk town centre - this is mainly due to students each having their own cars and not using the college free bus system!

]]> Wed, 2 Apr 2008 09:27:46 UTC 3387053 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3386814?utm_medium=rss The town itself is already starting to be run down as the level of houses rented out to students increases. Landlords neglect the appearance of the accomodation and student houses have now become easily identifiable by the outside appearance of rubbish and lack of care. I have lived in ormskirk for 29 years quite amicably in the past with the level of students in the last five years the effect of the student population has become clear. The town centre area is less attractive to the residents.

]]> Wed, 2 Apr 2008 08:51:24 UTC 3386814 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3386303?utm_medium=rss Wed, 2 Apr 2008 07:35:20 UTC 3386303 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3382615?utm_medium=rss Over several years I've witnessed the expansion of Edge Hill College and believe this expansion has been to the detriment of permanent residents in Ormskirk. Regardless of the conservation area surrounding the college, planning laws allow the college to expand. Surely this should be changed? We already suffer traffic/parking chaos around the college. This can only worsen. Increasing student numbers in the town surely mean less housing for our children to purchase property in their home town.

]]> Tue, 1 Apr 2008 05:53:52 UTC 3382615 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3382518?utm_medium=rss This should not be built, Ormskirk is becoming a town full of the jobless and students, I have lived in Ormskirk for 30 years and watched the college take over the town, in that time Ormskirk has shown a decline in the business's there. I live a few doors away from the college and I often wonder if I wanted to build a new 3 story house to replace mine the council would allow me to. NO.....

]]> Tue, 1 Apr 2008 05:31:53 UTC 3382518 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3381887?utm_medium=rss There should be some limit to just how far the campus can expand. Then there are the parking issues for these additional students. The buildings that are being replaced are not used during the evening whereas student residences will be in use 24 x 7 with consequent increases in noise and lighting.

My fiance and I have spent numerous sleepless nights as a result of the students having parties until 4 or 5am. We have also had to endure hooligan behaviour, bins being stolen, and road signs in our front garden. Local people are unable to get on the housing ladder as all first time buyer homes are bought by greedy landlords to house students. Edge hill's contempt is a disgrace, it must be stopped!
