Thornton is a village of green space, it's what gives Thornton village its character. Many people live here for that reason. The public footpath running through the fields is a section of the Bronte Way and is of great importance to many people in the area and also visitors. Thousands of people walk through this section each day, they travel from far and wide to walk here due to the Bronte connection and to see the Bronte Stones. There's a large variety of wildlife in the fields of the proposed site such as Deer, Bats and most importantly Newts, which I have seen on many occasions. There are Dozens of natural springs running through the fields. Some of the fields are on an existing Pit site. This part of the main road has a high rate of traffic accidents, we've witnessed many incidents including our own cars being written off.
