The vision for Allbrook Meadow has always been to enhance and preserve the natural landscape, environment and biodiversity of this quiet corner of of Eastleigh. Where until recently there were beautiful and uninterrupted views of the Itchen Valley and the landscape beyond, there are now wholly out of keeping steel structures, clashing horribly with the natural environment, placed in the worst possible location.
I would sincerely request that the Parish Council considers relocating the gym equipment to a more appropriate location.
I grew up in Potters Bar and ran my Auto Electrical business there for 40 years and I am looking to move back as soon as possible since my Canadian wife has passed away.Mel Cherry
It makes me so angry how the peregrines have been actively discouraged from nesting in Colchester. Councils in other cities have identified their importance and made provisions yet Colchester continues to leave its head in the sand when it comes to any forward thinking regarding wildlife conservation
I have lived in Tilehurst for over 70 years and my and I often enjoy walking down Pincents Hill, over the M4 footbridge into Theale for lunch in The Bull and then catch the No.1 Black bus to City Road and home. This lovely country walk would be ruined by 138 homes planted there with no doubt the lane widened to deal with two way traffic. The lives of the residents of the lovely old cottages in the lane would also be ruined, wildlife decimated, already heavy traffic with even more pollution increased with probable queues on the slipway both East and West from the nearby M4 junction. Also nothing mentioned about utilities like a doctors surgery, medical hub, school(s) etc, plus Little Heath Road and City Road becoming rat runs. No to development now and never.
My husband and I love this little oasis of wild beauty on our doorstep. When one, or both, of us are struggling with stress and mental health, we'll nip out for a walk among the tall grass, deer and butterflies. It's a breath of fresh air for us and many others in Calcot/Tilehurst, and a home to so much wildlife. We also agree with all the points raised in this petition about it not being a viable site for development due to local infrastructure, etc. Keep Pincents Hill wild!
There has been no increase in the infrastructure of Theale for the huge housing estates already being built in Theale, it takes a month to even obtain a doctors appointment at the monent, I'm not sure what will happen with the current houses being built let alone any more.
