Naylors Field has been a cherished part of our community for over 25 years. This idyllic green space has served as an essential hub for local residents, providing a safe haven for families, children, dog walkers, and elderly residents to gather, socialize, and enjoy the tranquility of nature. For many of us, it’s not just a field, but a sanctuary, a place where stories are shared, connections are made, and memories are cherished.

Moreover, Naylors Field is a vital ecological habitat. It boasts a remarkable variety of wildlife, making it a treasure trove for nature enthusiasts and conservationists alike. Regular visitors to the field include dozens of bats along with owls, foxes, badgers, and an array of birds and small mammals. The grasslands and flourishing hedgerows of Naylors Field serve as significant wildlife corridors, sustaining the biodiversity we hold dear in our community.

Regrettably, a part or all of this precious site has been slated for development. The prospect of losing such an invaluable asset to urban expansion threatens not only our community's quality of life but also the delicate balance of the local ecosystem. Once lost, the biodiversity that thrives here, so rare and remarkable, cannot be easily replaced.

We understand the need for development in our rapidly growing area, but we must advocate for sustainable solutions that accommodate both the necessity for housing and the preservation of our natural heritage. Building on part of Naylors Field will disrupt the vibrant wildlife habitat and diminish the community spirit that the field has cultivated over the years. We have the opportunity to explore alternative sites for development, or adopt innovative building techniques that protect the environment.

The voice of the community and the future of Naylors Field are in your hands. We implore the local councils, developers, and all parties involved to reconsider the proposed development. By working together, we can find a balance that respects both our community needs and our local wildlife.

Please sign this petition to protect Naylors Field from development and help us preserve our cherished natural space and its invaluable ecological contribution for future generations.
