Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 14303

Received: 18/03/2018

Respondent: Mrs Rebecca Whatley

Representation Summary:

This site may indeed need to be used in the future for expansion of the health centre. At the moment it is the lung of the town, and an amenity as well, for sledging, not that is can be done without trespassing, but it is a tradition in the area. The land was presented to the town not for development, but to preserve. The bequest would be disrespected if a development should happen, with the possible exception of the health centre. A large movement to preserve the space for posterity was mounted some years ago, with an exhibition of documents.
