Save Duncan Down, Whitstable, Kent.
protect the whole of Duncan Down and create a large wildlife meadow and Country Park; new areas for native trees, planting, recreating the ancient woodlands of Benacre Woods, create a woodland play area, small car park, toilets wheel chair and scooter access.
There is a huge need for affordable housing in Whitstable. Canterbury councillors have rejected an alternative site that is opposite Duncan Down which would save Duncan Down and build affordable homes.
Why is this important?
We are endeavouring to create a country park on the only existing green space left in Whitstable. It is our intention to restore ancient woodland by planting a large number of native trees, creating a large wildlife meadow, a community park with first class disabled access, a safe and natural environment for child to play in and working with and the guidance of Kent Wildlife Trust in order to improve the area.
