SITE 245
Time is short and this will be brief, however i just had to write about my utter disgust that yet another green space especially one that has been and hopefully will be again used for sport and fitness, in a society of every growing obese individuals is being considered for house build in the future. Do we need to remind you of the 2013 all party policy on the rugby ground on maintaining the sports ground only covenant and not selling the freehold .

The extra pressure placed on both medical and academic choice for the existing population will be negatively effected if further homes are built on this site in the numbers suggested. People pay the higher house and rental premiums to live and enjoy the character and distinctiveness of the area, this would be destroyed to what degree we can only guess. Does the council not share the communities desire to see areas available for sport, exercise and general well being. Taking away such an area of land for development and replacing it with problematic parking, destruction of trees and possible drainage and flooding problems on Sharmans Cross Road is unpalatable.

I am sure there will be more contact with yourselves from the various people at the meeting, I do hope you take on board all of our concerns. I might not be able to put my feelings into words as well as some. But there must be areas of land, possibly previously industrial that could provide a more suitable replacement that would not antagonize ordinary hard working individuals
