North Tyneside Council (without consultation from local residents) have implemented a Biodiversity area on the thoroughfare of Holystone estate of which housing on Carlisle Close, Carlisle Way and Aidan Close border.

As a result of overgrown grasses this has led to increased hayfever and allergic Conjunctivitis amongst neighbouring residents, resulting in time off work or school. Young children resident in these streets, have also lost the only safe play area in which they enjoyed together.

Quality of life for residents has been reduced.

This petition seeks removal of the Hoystone thoroughfare from the Biodiversity plan and reinstatement of regular grass cutting with immediate effect.
