Petition

Protect our green spaces and allotments stop the land grab.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Demand the council perform a full staffing and overhead audit to identify and eliminate redundant positions and streamline operations.
Demand the council first trims non-essential roles and administrative waste via an efficiency review, rather than forcing the sale of public green spaces.
Protect green spaces: they’re vital for carbon capture, flood mitigation, clean air, wildlife habitat, mental health, and local economies. Without parks and fields we lose pollinators, flood control, and havens for community well-being. Once it’s concrete, it’s gone forever. Parliament must act now to safeguard our green fields and our children’s future.
