This is valued open space used by the whole community. Government and local policies show that recreation open space like this is supposed to be protected.

Children regularly play here and would have nowhere else to play.

Many dwellings in the neighbourhood have no gardens.

It's used for sport/exercise.

Green space helps protect us against local air pollution problems.

People travel via the green.

The area has already been shown to be deprived of green space.

It was landscaped for recreation in the 1960s and is needed now just the same.

Generations of families have used this. Why destroy the play/recreation space of this and future generations for the sake of meeting only 5% of the Shipley quota’ of new housing.

Local residents are already living in a built up area with busy roads, this area should be kept as green space for them to enjoy.
