I would like to make you aware of my concerns regarding the proposed development of the green space adjacent to our properties Newby Grove/Clopton Crescent. I have lived in Clopton Crescent since 1971 and every approximately 10 years with have this problem of this plot of land being developed. I believe has a resident of this area we have a duty of care to preserve our green spaces for the quality and well being of the current and next generation of residents. Our children when they were young used to enjoy playing on this area. When I was young we didn't have green safe areas to play, we had to play in the road which was relatively safe due to low volume of traffic, which is not the case nowadays.
I did attend the meeting on the 3rd December at the Fordbridge centre. The absurd carrot dangled of a FA standard football pitch by John Halton (regeneration officer) which would probably cost too much to keep maintained and would fall in disrepair. We don't want to lose our green spaces.
