http://www.friendsofspeckledwoodmanagementtrust.org.uk/consultation/

The Trust was informed by letter that there has been and extension to the Outline  Planning Application on the site in Speckled Wood which the Trust and other local groups want to be a Classroom site to enable the schools to access the site. The Trust took this Local Plan to the HCA Pilot Meeting  3rd Nov 2012 , HCA have ignored this wanting just five houses which will benefit just 15 families , where the school room will benefit many hundred. The Outline Application must be stopped for this to have any chance of succeeding . This is the only site attached to a village green which has road access. Please help us click the link above and register your objection.

MORE TIPPED RUBBISH REMOVED
The Trust was busy this morning removing the tipped rusty metal tins which had been selfishly tipped and toppled down the bank earlier in the week. We managed to get stuck as the weight of the metal was much more than we anticipated. Both items have now been removed and are awaiting collection. The Trust want to thank the helpers that all came to help get the heavy lump onto the tractor & trailer so it could be removed.
