What the petition asks
Launch a public inquiry into the planned Category C 1440 inmate prison at Full Sutton
A public inquiry is needed because:
1) In total, about 1000 trips per day are expected from staff and visitors that may result in about 20,000 miles of driving per day, no Environmental Impact Assessment was provided.
2) Serious disputes have occurred regarding claims made in support of the prison plans.
3) The size and scale have resulted in thousands of pages of information/opinions, a public inquiry is therefore needed to consider it properly.
4) The prison plans may be harmful to the community due to extra delays for emergency vehicles, increased risk to pedestrians and cyclists, 6 four-storey buildings having a major visual impact and camouflaging trees taking years to grow.
