Newcastle Council Grab Westlands Green Spaces

Residents meeting in Wye Road Community Centre, Seabridge, Newcastle-under-Lyme 7:30 PM on Monday 7th February

You may be aware that selected households have been advised that Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough took a decision in secrecy last July, to sell several green spaces for development in the Westlands, Clayton and Kidsgrove areas. Two of the proposed sites border Repton Drive, Rossall Avenue and Winchester Drive. Another site is a very large public open space between Clayton Road and Abbots Road.

A residents group met on Wednesday 26th of January when it was suggested we hold a meeting for residents to inform everyone of the proposals and to consider objecting to this action.

You are invited to attend the meeting in Wye Road community Centre Clayton ST5 4AZ at 7:30 PM on Monday 7th of February.

The outline planning application to build houses on these two green spaces is due to go to the Planning Committee in March 2011. If you use these green spaces and wish to raise your objection to the sale of land and the outline planning permission, your attendance would be welcome at the meeting.
