Save Coate

Over 52,000 people have signed the petition. 2010 brings news that Swindon Borough Council is currently proposing a policy for 750 new houses at Coate but not next to Coate Water Country Park. Redrow Homes and Persimmon Homes are considering a planning application for 960 houses east of Day House lane. However the house-builders have options on most of the countryside between Day House Lane and the edge of Coate Water Country Park - nothing is safe. Keep informed by going to http://jefferieslandtrust.org.uk.

SAVE COATE FROM DEVELOPMENT

We, the undersigned, believe that development of the Coate area will have a devastating impact on wildlife at Coate Water nature reserve. It would desecrate an area that has strong historic, literary and recreational attractions and destroy the last remaining pocket of unspoilt countryside close to Swindon. Coate Water Site of Special Scientific Interest contributes to the very best of the rich variety and abundance of wildlife that makes England's nature special and distinct from any other country in the world.

We demand that a one kilometre buffer of land is left undeveloped next to Coate Water.

We call upon Swindon Borough Council to say NO to development at Coate.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
