Wellbeing should be the first priority

I read with great interest the article in the Maidenhead Advertiser of October 28,

‘Great Park campaigners planning Town Hall demonstration’.

With the publicly owned greenspace of the golf course, we have wonderful opportunity to protect woodlands, biodiversity and town centre public amenity all in one go.

It’s upsetting to read the quote from the spokesperson from RBWM saying ‘the redevelopment of Maidenhead Golf Course is a crucial part of the next phase of Maidenhead’s regeneration’.

Surely in light of the biodiversity crash and climate crisis we face, protecting the greenspace of the golf course is crucial for the future wellbeing of our community, not concreting it over?
