We are campaigning to protect Farnham's water meadows, known as Bishop's Meadow, and more generally to protect Farnham's green space. We urge the local authorities to firmly resist pressure to develop Bishop's Meadow for housing or commercial use. We further urge them not to use it as a SANGS site permitting damaging development elsewhere in Farnham.

The momentum behind this fight proves that Farnham will not sit back while greedy developers eye up our water meadows. The local council needs to understand that we refuse to let them pave over the soul of this town.

My kids love playing down there. Please dont pave over it.
Keep our town green! We have enough shops and houses already. leave the meadow alone.
Ridiculous idea to build there. It floods every single year anyway. Who is going to want a house in a swamp?
LEAVE BISHOP'S MEADOW ALONE. Enough is enough.
Used to walk my dog here every day. It would be a huge mistake to develop this land. Think about the local wildlife for once.

Farnham is losing all its charm because of these developers. Stop ruining the few nice spots left for us.
