Our communities across Leicester would like your support to help save and protect our vital Green Spaces for everyone, young and old to enjoy for generations to come.

By building on these green spaces our children and families will be denied access to safe outdoor recreational spaces and the resulting impact on air pollution and wildlife will be disastrous.

Ask yourself does the Biodiversity plan Leicester City Council published this year align with building on green spaces… no it doesn’t.. read for yourself here :

During the COVID-19 pandemic we have seen just how vital these spaces are for our physical and mental well-being, a real lifeline for so many, especially as Leicester was the worst hit city in terms of the length of time we remained in lockdown.

We cannot risk losing the very green spaces that give us all clean air to breathe, help maintain physical and mental health as well as maintaining a healthy eco system for wildlife to flourish.

Support us and the entire city and sign this petition and let’s work together challenge this for the long term health of our kids and generations to come.
