We are losing far to much of our meadows around the town with all the new building that is ruining our town.

This area should be kept natural and untouched for the vast wildlife that already inhabits it.

There are plenty of other less sensitive sites to use. Put the wildlife first for once

All butterfly areas need protection from this out of control urban sprawl, I am happy to put my name to this.

Insects, butterflies in particular are an integral part of our ecosystem. The state of these precious insects are a true indicator of what we should and shouldn't do to our environmental landscape.

No more green field development. There are approximately 1.4 million vacant properties in the UK - Councils/government be creative - encourage landlords to make them available.

Alton's new housing now way in excess of that required by 2020

We should be using brown field sites to increasing our house building.

This site needs saving. There are so many developments in our area, can we please retain this site of natural beauty and its vast range of resident species.

I work as a volunteer ranger for SDNP mainly trying to preserve our rare chalk grassland and this is happening on my own doorstep!

Butterflies are important as are the green spaces in Alton. Providing people with homes is also important but the infrastructure which is already understrain for the residents as it is, needs to be invested in. Schools and medical centres need to be expanded first to accommodate the existing population.

This is important....because the butterflies need our help.
