We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Keep Wimborne Town Green. More details
Submitted by M. de la Vourdelle of KWTG – Deadline to sign up by: 19 August 2007 – Signatures: 61
More details from petition creator
The Wimborne Green changing from Cricket Pitch to Traders Pitch! We already have a large supermarket that is very much under-subscribed in the town centre just yards away from this proposed development. This is not a development that Wimborne has sought. The town is forced to consider this development because the owner of the land – Sir Michael Hanham, wishes to realize a cash asset.The proposed structure is wholly out of keeping with Wimborne and will mar the view of the Minster when approaching the town from the East – visual pollution! The 200 jobs 'promised' by Waitrose will be outnumbered by the number of jobs lost in local businesses. Although Waitrose distributes its profits amongst its employees, the bulk of the money that it takes will be drained from the local economy. The supermarket will generate some 2500 additional vehicles transiting the narrow roads of the town centre each day, 7 days a week – atmospheric pollution.
