If you don't want to go through all the issues in the full responce - then heres how its ends.
In conclusion, there are many problems with the council’s recent community engagement survey.
No matter what the issues are or what they present, the fact remains that they did not consult on any works. They went ahead and initiated them without getting any approval from committee or councilor or citizen.
These works would not only significantly change the use of the fields and have great impact on the community, but also dramatically change the aesthetics of the area and have a detrimental effect on the established biodiversity and the mental health and wellbeing of the community. This is in direct contravention to our councils Constitution and Core Values over the services they provide.
We would encourage that to support the community’s efforts and to have all these items brought before committee were they can be properly assessed and were Transparency, Accountability and Excellent Standards with proper Community Consultation can be maintained. Then you should return your survey with the Answers:
1. YES
2. NO
3. NO
And request that a full and proper long-term maintenance plan for the trees be properly researched and implemented with full transparency.
On numerous occasions over the years the local community have reconfirmed their desire that the field remains properly maintained with no set use, but with free and multiple use for all. We believe that this is still the desire of the community.
We encourage you to contact your local councilors, who are available as your advocates to speak on your behalf.
