The proposed development above Waterside Fold (Carr Bank, green belt site) is marked as being in Keighley rather than East Morton. In terms of the consultation, this has been confusing and caused anger and mistrust among residents. People on Waterside Fold and Carr Bank consider themselves to be from East Morton, and their address is East Morton. There is also an issue regarding the suggestion of school boundaries and catchments.

The infrastructure of Swine Lane is unsuitable to take more traffic.

The two areas of East Morton and Riddlesden would further merge if the Carr Bank site remains on the plan. There is already no green boundary between Waterside Fold (East Morton) and Hospital Road, Riddlesden – there is no vehicular access between the two villages but they are effectively losing their distinct character and boundary.
