Temple Newsam Park - say NO to Go Ape!

Please reject bids and future plans to build a high-wire adventure course in Temple Newsam Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Why is this important?

Temple Newsam Park is a free public park to be enjoyed by everyone. Should these plans go ahead, some areas of the park may be restricted, especially entry/exits to the equipment, the noise from participants will spoil the peaceful calm currently enjoyed. Parking is also an issue, especially at weekends - there just arent enough spaces to accommodate this - any new parking areas would mean taking more of the green available space of the park. Road access to the park will be put under further pressure. There is the issue of felling existing trees to make way for this, disturbance to the natural wild life and bird life living in the park. Temple Newsam is beautiful as it is, it does not need enhancing, please sign the petition in support.

How it will be delivered

This petition will be emailed to the contact over seeing the consultation at Leeds City Council by 28th April 2017.

Temple Newsam, Templenewsam Road, Leeds
