Help Protect our Local Green Corridor

You may have read the Wendover News article in the July-August edition about the proposed Hawridge Building Development of the two fields running parallel to the canal, from Oliver’s Bridge to Halton Lane.

These two fields are essential green spaces between Wendover and Halton and help to support nature and form part of a wider green network.

You can help us protect them by telling Wendover and Halton Parish Councils how you use these fields and how important you feel they are to Wendover and Halton.

Both Parish Councils will be applying to have these areas recognised as Assets of Community Value (ACV). An Asset of Community Value (ACV) is a building or piece of land that matters to local people, and that the community can ask the council to list formally. If an owner of a listed asset wants to sell, the community gets a pause to try to raise the money to buy it. Listing doesn’t force a sale or give planning permission, but it gives local people time and a real chance to protect somewhere they value.

Your comments and testimonials (all anonymous) are essential for the applications to be accepted as they build a picture of how much you want to keep the fields for the use of the community. Having each field listed as an ACV can, if approved, give each Parish Council the time to consider how we can buy the land and protect them from developers.

Please can you complete this very short survey here: SURVEY

Printed copies of the survey are available for you to complete at Wendover Library, the Clock Tower and Halton Village Hall. The survey will remain open until the end of January 2027

All your comments will be so welcome!

Thank you for your support.
