Halstead Woods in Colchester has been a haven for me and my friends, providing us with a secure and harmonious environment for mountain biking, and a space where we can connect with nature. This woodland has quickly become more than just an outdoor activity spot; it has become a cherished part of our lives.

Together, we can stand up against the plans to destroy our local jumps that have been there for many decades conserve the area of its character. Halstead Woods is not just 'land'; it's a key part of our community and a critical part of our local ecosystem. And it needs our voices to remain a place for everyone to enjoy.

Sign this petition to urge the council to reconsider their plans for Halstead Woods. Together, we can keep this place for children now and future generations to enjoy.
