I write to log my objection towards the proposed building on Reedswood Park and the surrounding area (as
per meeting held on Saturday 2nd October).
Not only is Reedswood park an oasis of tranquility and beauty within this already built up area; it helps to
absorb much of the carbon dioxide and thus helps lower pollution levels.
The park has significant benefits for the local community and is home to an abundance of wildlife. Where
will these animals go?
There is a wealth of eco friendly creatures including insects (many being extremely valuable pollinators)
reptiles such as [species redacted].
The proposal to destroy this precious land and the land off Pouk Hill Close is simply out of the question!
Birchills and Reedswood already has enough building and pollution which is proved to have a detrimental
impact upon health and mental wellbeing, we simply do not have the facilities to accommodate more homes
and cars into the area.
We have already seen housing estates erected over the years just off Reedswood Way (Norfolk New
Road/Ludlow Lane and Conwy Close and Rochester Croft), the Cavendish estate, Basalt Close and Ragstone
Close this is in addition to the retail park, Sainsbury's supermarket, fuel station, a public house and now
another lot of industrial units currently being erected.
I lodge my opposition to any more building within this area - especially our green space- in the strongest
manner.
Please do the right thing and stop this now!
