Stop the proposed transport hub stealing our green space
Stop the planning process of the proposed transport hub at whittinghame drive. A car park that will consist of 200+ spaces.
Why is this important?
As a community we should be objecting to this proposal due to several factors which include
- the safety of the children who play in this area with the increase in vehicular movement.
- an increase in noise and pollution next to the 3g sports facilities and skate park.
- the loss of green space used for public events such as the shows, fireworks, circus etc.
- increase in traffic flow over the Victoria bridge causing more congestion.
- potential of traffic self diverting causing a rat race through the residential area.
- adding to the surface water run off in an area already susceptible to flooding
- loss of green space which is beneficial to mental health and well being.
- potential damage to the surrounding trees and wildlife.
So please as a community help us fight against this proposal and save our green space at whittinghame drive, a space used by many, from children, to dog walkers and families. Let's stop this car park that will lead to the changes to our historic town centre, which could ruin people's businesses. Businesses which right now are thriving.
