I am emailing you to request that you do not go ahead with building on our local nature reserve. I walk my dog there every day and it gives me and many others a peaceful place to go amongst nature which makes me feel so much happier, helping my well being as well as my dog’s. I love to walk there and admire the different species of trees and plants. It’s also a sanctuary for many birds and other animals so it would be terrible to see that taken away. Most people including me, understand that new homes need to be built, but I’m sure it can be done elsewhere. Living in an urban area, the WEC nature reserve is precious to the local community.
We would be heartbroken if it was to be demolished to build houses so I beg you not to do this.
