The old crown pit tip is a place i have grown up using, spending lots of my childhood up there and now still using it in my adult years, it has become so important to us a family and our business, and many many others who use it too, we see so much wildlife there, from the tiny ground nesting birds, to the swallows feeding on the grass insects, to deer and there offspring and many many more, it runs along side the old golf course, which is full off wildlife too, if early enough you can see the heards of deer running across the hills, there is also many ponds that have lots of wildlife living in them, to hear of  the new plans to build 800 houses and an array of shops is absolutely devastating, the impact will have a huge affect on us as a family and a business and so many others who enjoy the beautiful walks and wildlife it brings, there are already so many new housing developments very local, there us just no need to wipe our local area of this natural beauty !
