A town appears to be split after concerns were raised over potential new homes on disused land.
The ECHO previously reported how opinions appeared to be divided on the potential for over 700 new homes on the land south of Cherryfield Drive in Kirkby. Despite some saying that affordable housing and investment was "needed" in the town, others were concerned over surrounding infrastructure not being "fit for purpose".
One ECHO reader has since added: "Knocked down perfectly good houses on Cherryfield where local people were happy to live, to build new houses and I bet the new houses won't even be offered to the people of Kirkby." Another said it was "great" as the country has "huge housing problems".
