Representation Summary:

In regarding of the site WOH260, I have lived [Redacted-GDPR]. Through the years I have seen a change for the better at that site. From school playing fields to now grazing for sheep/cows. It is an open space for all to enjoy young and old and they do. Simply stopping to look at the animals and feed them, many come from afar to walk past the site even local carer's pushing care home residents in wheel chairs which lifts their spirits then they carry on to Northicote Farm for refreshments, in recent years I have seen an increase in traffic around the site that being the development of the i54 and new homes being built on the old goodyear site, northicote high school was bulldozed to the ground to make way for new housing which is just streets away from the WOH260 site which after years of doing so is still not built, we have more pollution now because of the traffic issue around the streets leading off the site. This green site is a haven for people for their well being, for the wildlife it obtains of which their are many species, the next generation, to keep this site is very very important to us all, we see enough housing being built around us already taking up valuable green spaces. We do not want to live in a concrete jungle just to exist with no prospect of seeing green grass and the smelling of fresh air. We have got to make a stand against this proposal for all our wellbeing before its too late, let our future children and their children have something to be glad for, that we did keep this green space for them to enjoy, my own children enjoyed this green site, playing on there with their friends, this would be devastation to the environment that is around us if this were to happen, PLEASE PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.
