On behalf of keepbradfordgreen, we would like to thank most sincerely the people of Bradford on Avon. Firstly, the nearly 2000 people who have signed our petition and then the hundreds who packed St Margaret’s Hall on the 1st July for the Town Council meeting.

What we achieved at that meeting was the agreement of the whole Town Council to oppose the planning application for Access Roads to a potential development of 194 houses on the golf course.

The application will soon be put before the District Council and we assure you, that we will be there in force to try and safeguard your interests.

These are just the opening stages of what might turn out to be a long battle.

We hope for your support in the future and will endeavour to keep you all informed of any progress.

Until we know for certain when the district council will consider the planning application for this proposed development, we feel it’s still crucial that you write or e-mailing objections to the council.

The principal planning officer is Michael Kilmister, West Wiltshire District Council, Bradley Road, Trowbridge, WILTS BA14 0RD, mkilmister@westwiltshire.gov.uk.

You can also download and print off our campaign poster and put this somewhere visible for people to see.

Please don’t assume someone else will do this, we need every objection we can get!

Thanks

It was standing room only in St Margarets Hall where Bradford on Avon Town Council backed local residents in opposing plans to build on Bradford Golf-Course.

A mamouth Thank-you! to everyone that spoke and put the residents case.

Thank-you! to The Preservation Trust and Rural England also for backing the campaign.

On Tuesday July 1st, the Town Council will decide whether to support plans to build on Bradford Golf Course. Please come along and show your opposition to the development.

Bradford Golf Course is home to an amazing variety of wildlife and used by local people of all ages (as the photos below demonstrate). This facility is the perfect place to learn the game of golf without having to endure the normal expense associated with this activity.
