Block all plans to have an observation wheel put up in Stratford Upon Avon

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Stratford Upon Avon is a market town in Warwickshire. It is famous for being the Birthplace of William Shakespeare and the home of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Company. It's skyline does not need to be blotted by a London Eye style observation wheel.
The views of the countryside in which Stratford Upon Avon is situated can't be truly appreciated until outside the town either from the air or surrounding hills! It is most likely that all you would see the from the observation tower is traffic and over development that the town is becoming known locally for!
