Welcome

(last update Thurs 20th December)

Well, it appears we've won! After packing out the District Assembly in a show of strength and amongst bizarre scenes, the elected officials voted to defeat the plan to introduce parking on our Green. More details to follow in the blog posts.

Thank you for visiting our blog. We are campaigning to protect a small village green (Temperance Green) from being tarmaced over to provide more parking spaces.

You can watch our video and then vote (vote now closed) and contribute to the blogposts shown below (The most recent are at the top, or you can navigate with the links, also on your right, below the vote).

Why are we objecting?

This delightful green is a vital asset to our village and should remain as an open piece of land for the enjoyment of all.
- It is a well used, safe, informal play space for young kids, benefiting from being overlooked by adjacent houses
- It is an important element in creating the attractive character of this corner of our village
- It contains a variety of trees, some of which were planted as memorials to past residents and neighbours
- It forms part of the rural village setting to adjacent listed buildings
- It’s purpose has always been to provide an informal area of open green space for residents and visitors.

Welcome

Welcome to the Temperance Green Blog. It has been created to try and defend a small village green (Temperance Green, in the village of Broadbottom) from aggressive plans to turn it into a carpark.
This is Temperance Green in 2007
There is tremendous resistance to this idea from those who live around the Green. Hopefully we can use this space to communicate the latest news in our campaign to save Temperance Green.

I've not yet worked-out how to let others post here. In the meantime, send any opinions / ideas to me and I'll add them.
