Stop the Puy du Fou UK theme park

No need, only greed!
Tell Cherwell District Council to reject proposals to build a giant Puy du Fou theme park on farmland near Bicester and avoid adding even more traffic congestion to the area

Why is this important?

Puy du Fou wants to build a theme park in the tiny village of Bucknell near Bicester, Oxfordshire. The proposed park would occupy an area of productive farmland bigger than Hyde Park, destroying green space, natural wildlife habitats and ancient rights of way.

Puy du Fou UK aims to attract 1.47mln visitors per year. Because of where the park would be situated, we know the British public will drive en masse instead of using public transport. The park would be served by a single B-road, the B4100, an accident-prone road that is notoriously congested every day. This congestion causes backlogs for miles around including on the M40, A43 and A34. Such an increase in traffic will spell daily misery for anyone travelling in the wider area, not just the locals.

Shortages in the electricity grid currently cause serious local problems including outages and even school closures, while Thames Water does not have sufficient capacity to serve much-needed new homes at present. 

Tell Cherwell District Council to say No Puy du Fou UK, sign the petition!
