Save Clyne Valley Country Park from residential development.
If you have ever visited Clyne Valley Country Park, you will know that it's a wonderful resource comprising many varied wildlife habitats, and tracks for walking, horse-riding and cycling. Unfortunately the owners (City & County of Swansea) have submitted two parts of the Park as LPD candidate sites suitable for residential development. LPD stands for Local Development Plan, which is being drawn up to meet future needs. As part of the process the public are being encouraged to have their say.
This photo shows one ancient track (likely to be as old as Gower Road) and some of the trees there which are under threat with possibly 300 houses to be built on this one site alone (KS0001). Although part of the green wedge and Clyne Valley Country Park, this site in Killay, as well as SK0026 in Derwen Fawr, could be built upon.
Will you help to save the Country Park from development?
Photo, right, magnificent oak avenue under threat.
As a minimum, please consider signing the online petition.
Even better, visit www.saveclynevalley.co.uk where you'll find information to HAVE YOUR SAY online at the Council's LDP webpages.....you do NOT have to live in Swansea to make your objections and comments known. There are pages of suitable comments for you to choose, just cut and paste.
There's even got a short video now available if you want a reminder of what the fields and ancient road and trees look like. If you are able to help us....would you also tell your friends? Email any emailing groups you're with. Perhaps even via Facebook ...go to facebook then search for Save Clyne Woods, a facebook Group that has been set up.
IF YOU ARE PART OF ANY OTHER GROUP THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED....do let them know, and if you have FURTHER INFORMATION that can be used in the campaign, please let me know.
Thank you. Note deadline for LDP objections & comments is 30th September.
