We only get one chance - once built over that is it for green space so it should always be a last resort in my view.Marcusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385595.post-58474994591801763042009-10-25T17:49:46.226+00:002009-10-25T17:49:46.226+00:00Dear Marcus
Just to say how much the Scotts Meadow...Dear Marcus<br />Just to say how much the Scotts Meadow Project Group appreciate your support in our battle to save these meadows off Riviera Way at the gateway to the English Riviera Geopark.<br />Unfarmed for around 20 years, these prominent and beautiful meadows are highly valued by the community in the Willows, Cadewell and Shiphay.<br />They could be a valuable community asset: as open amenity space - just imagine a big bonfire night wth fireworks let off from the top of the hill - outdoor classrooms for our schoolchildren thanks to the rich biodiversity which have built up there, as well as a valued landscape buffer zone between the Willows and Cadewell.<br />We would now urge Torbay Council to delay publication of its draft planning strategy until after the General Election. Such important decisions should not be rushed through when a change of Government is possible.<br />We welcome the Conservative pledge to allow the local community to decide its own future rather than impose from Whitehall a totally unrealistic housing figure which would forever change the face of Torbay.<br />There has to be another way of meeting housing need in the Bay.<br />Yours sincerely<br />Scotts Meadow Project Group.<br />01803 615922.<br />email scottsmeadow@googlemail.comScotts Meadow Project Groupnoreply@blogger.com
