Don’t have this sale on your conscience

I am a fourth generation Maidonian and can claim to have seen considerable changes in Maidenhead over the years.

Many for the better and some not so good but the BLP to develop Maidenhead Golf Course in the proposed manner is not only inappropriate but irresponsible.

The council’s plans to destroy the golf course green space is clearly against current environmental considerations, local residents’ health and wellbeing and Government climate policy.

We need and want a ‘Maidenhead Great Park’ on this site for all current and future generations to use.

Crossrail no longer terminates in Maidenhead.

Housing targets have already been exceeded in the area.

The attraction of a lucrative revenue stream may be a driving force for this proposed development and of course, would help to plug a large financial deficit in the borough finances.

However, this reflects a short term view. Come on councillors, we need and want a Maidenhead Great Park.

Reject your myopic approach.

Don’t allow these plans to proceed and to further tarnish the Conservative record in Maidenhead.
