Protect Grange Hill -Green Spaces of West Kirby - plan for 35-50 houses on protected field
The Issue
Grange Hill in West Kirby has been identified by Wirral Borough Council (WBC) as an opportunity for 35-50 properties on fields and ex-farm land. This is in the Wirral Draft plan
The land is even protected by covenant, however council representatives are openly saying that these will be overcome.
This petition is to:
- Highlight to Wirral Borough Council that Wirral residents do not wish housing construction on green space land
- Confirm support for Local Green Space (LGS) designation of the land at Grange Hill
Grange Old Road is the original main Hoylake road through to the 1930's when the increase in motor traffic required an improved 'curve' at Black Horse hill putting the impressive 'Broccoli tree' on prime location for passing traffic.
The original road runs past the Sea Scouts and still retains its stone blocks to prevent carriages slipping down the hill.
To the North and East of Grange Old Road is Grange Hill with its impressive views and war memorial.
The WBS Draft plan proposal will carve out a significant section between Grange Hill War Memorial and the Grange Hill Allotments. This housing development introduces damage to this environment by human activity such as noise and light pollution forever changing the tranquility of Grange Hill.
This petition is seeking support from the community to remind Wirral Borough Council that building on fields and green sites is not acceptable.
Thank you for your support
