I am writing to object to the Greenhills Park being repurposed into an Astro playing pitch.
(1)This will destroy a much loved and much used amenity. As someone who at one time had five of my siblings living in this area I know how much the Greenhills residents use & appreciate the Park. The flat surface makes the park accessible to all including ELDERLY/DISABLED. I myself use the park on my many visits to my siblings.
(2) If the Council go ahead with these plans it will destroy not only the flora, fauna & wildlife of the park but will also detrimentally affect the lives of the residents in their Autumn years.
(3) The light pollution from flood lights can only negatively affect the surrounding dwellings.
(4) The parking in this area which at present is dreadful to say the least will be impacted, impacting on the surrounding streets and laneways.
Local Government by its nature should be local. Knocklyon has already said NO to this Astro Park. If the Council go ahead with this plan it will be a disgrace that in the world of greed we live in the voices of the elderly residents living the area are not heard on this matter.
