Wycliffe Road green space is used by most everyone in the area , children playing to elderly doing their step walking ,dog walkers, picnickers,,snowman builders, kids on sledges football, kids cricket...lying on the grass,could go on forever...two busy main roads top and bottom of Wycliffe and nearest parks one in Baildon,over the river and one at northcliffe which is a bit of a trek...there is not much green space in this area of shipley and what we do have we need to preserve...it may not be classed as flood plain ...but it does soak up a lot of the rainfall in the area..which is more than block paving or tarmac can do.
Wycliffe road is already a VERY BUSY road and bus route frequently congested and I'm sure this will only get worse with the additional new housing...
I really think we need to preserve this space for future generations
