Campaigners are hoping to kick the 30-home development plan into the long grass
According to the developer - Big Help Langley Development CIC - the land off Borrowdale Road, Langley, has become a hotspot for antisocial behaviour, drinking and drug taking - but that has been refuted by locals.
“This palace centres our community. It is imperative to keep the connections of the estate going that people will lose if they can’t have a place to socialise. The green space is a key asset for community events, one of which saw a fundraiser generate thousands of pounds in aid of a little girl with cancer. Sierra is known as the ‘Middleton Mermaid’ and caught the attention of the community.
“The land is home to bats, birds, foxes and used by local dog walkers but it is also very dark at night and is a magnet for antisocial behaviour, drinking and drug use and a place for young people to congregate at night.” “Local amenities such as GPs, dentists and schools are all oversubscribed, where would the new homeowners go? The traffic on school days down Borrowdale Road is horrendous, this would just add to problems."
