RE: The Proposed Changes in Category to WATLING GATE/FRIESTON ROAD in TIMPERLEY

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my grave concerns over your proposal to change the useage category of the land at the end of Frieston Road in Timperley (Newton Park).

As you are well aware there is a primary school attached to this land and any changes would impinge upon the welfare and safety of the children who go to this school.

They include my 3 year old girl and will affect my 10 month old child too when she starts. This is something I feel very strongly about.

1/ Social Welfare
As you are no doubt aware this school is the 2nd best performing school in Trafford. The children's recreation in the park is part of their development as healthy social beings.

Do you want to breed a race of hooded ASBOS deprived of recreational areas?  - all in the cause of the pursuit of the mighty dollar.

I object to the proposal to sell off parkland to private developers. If anything this land should be given to the school to further extend the excellent work they are doing.

It should be left open for public use.

2/ Safety
 Any building work would necessitate heavy machinery passing down a narrow road where 3-4 years old children are wont to play. Need I spell out the danger inherent in this.

Once building has finished there will be an increase in traffic to whatever has been built. There will be a huge increase in the danger of a traffic fatality.

I implore you to reconsider your proposal and leave the land open as an area for our children.

Yours Sincerely,
