Keep Hillbrook Primary's Field REAL GRASS
The Issue
Parents and lovely local community PLEASE HELP US! Your support is needed to SAVE OUR FIELD at Hillbrook Primary!! It's the only one in the area and is so, so precious.The governers and Head have plans to rip out all the wildlife supporting, oxygen creating natural grass and replace it with plastic fake grass!!
Please sign this petition to show your support for the children's environment and encourage nature over plastic!
The field DOES need to be replaced but the suggestion is using the existing budget to facilitate real not fake grass. With proper drainage and levelling, which has to happen to accommodate fake grass, we lay beautiful, soft, perfectly designed natural grass instead, at a FRACTION of the cost! Fake grass is dangerous, the friction burns from a fall are much worse than on natural grass, it gets oppressively hot in summer, it only lasts 8 years, maintenance is expensive, it will kill the wildlife living in and around the area, when it needs to be replaced it is non biodegradable and will create an enormous amount of plastic waste for landfill and it does not give us the air we breathe! Work starts at the end of June and time is running out. ��
