In a joint plan from The Challenger Multi Academy Trust of Bedford and Essex County Council, 3,500 m2 of Hadleigh Juniors School Field is to be sold along with adjoining land to property developers with the purpose of building upwards of 55 houses. On the existing school field they intend to build a public floodlit 4G football pitch stating it is for the “benefit of the children and community”. Help us fight these outrageous and unwelcome plans by signing this petition.

I think it awful to take green spaces from schools.With our population ever increasing the space will be needed to accommodate more classrooms and playing areas

We were informed a few years ago that this field was for the building of a new junior school as the present junior school is so old and totally inadequate. What happened to that promise? We need a new school not a football pitch, so much for the benefit for the children of the community.

Full opposition to housing development, there are already over 200 new homes being built 500 meters up the road from here and the Hadleigh already cannot cope with the influx of cars and all the doctors surgeries are oversubscribed.

I went to School at both infants & junior School, we had all of our PE lessons, outdoor exploration, girls football, trained for County Athletics etc on those fields, no way should they be developed on.

No words needed, this is another example of lining developers pockets at the expense of the locals...and in this instance, local children. Shocking!

Parking, traffic congestion, long wait for doctors appointments are already huge problems in Hadleigh. The proposed plans concern me greatly, noise and light pollution from suggested development will be detrimental to the local community. A development so close to an infant school raises safeguarding concerns too.

There is far too much housing development taking place with too little attention being paid to infrastructure, pollution levels and lack of open spaces.
