It 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.
We will lose the benefits of our community’s local green space.
Children play regularly here and would have nowhere else to play. Many dwellings in the neighbourhood have no gardens and the local parks are a long way away involving main road crossings.
It's used for sport/exercise.
It's used for dog walking.
Green space helps protect us against local air pollution problems.
People travel via the green to work, or to the local nurseries and schools.
We are already an area that has been shown to be deprived of green space.
Why destroy the play/recreation space of this and future generations for the sake of meeting only 3.5% of the Shipley ‘quota’ of new housing?
