Protecting trees & wildlife under threat @ Poynton Park & Pool. Raising funds to protect the ecological value of the site.

[Friends of Poynton Pool @PoyntonPool]

We know we mustn’t rest on our laurels after the deferral. We'll be working with Poynton Town Council on how to reach an outcome that achieves both the flood safety requirements (an obligation for Cheshire East Council) & maintain the Poynton pool wildlife haven that we love

ANOTHER LEGAL LETTER HAS BEEN SENT
Our lawyers have sent this letter to each member of the Cheshire East Council Strategic Planning Board, Paul Wakefield & Rob Polkinghorne. The letter asks for the Poynton Pool planning application to be removed from Wednesday's SPB meeting

[David Rutley @DavidRutley]

Positive to hear that the planning application regarding Poynton Pool was deferred yesterday. As set out in my letter to @CheshireEast, it's time for alternative solutions to be given serious consideration to better protect this important community asset.https://t.co/SVgBKUBGfw

@ChrisGPackham @zerohour_uk 78 trees & two 40m sections of Hawthorn Hedgerow will be removed as a result of a proposed development at Poynton Pool by Cheshire East Council. Plus 49 trees & 10 groups identified to be impacted by the proposals, largely by crown lifting over working areas or by encroachment :(
