People of Flixton...let's show just how much we care about saving our much loved, community green belt! Even a £1 donation will make a difference! you can choose any amount you want when you get to the donation page - you don't have to go with the suggested amounts - we genuinely appreciate every single hard earned pound - thank you!

Many people who live in and care about the beautiful, historical village of Flixton want to challenge Trafford Council's plans to build 750 homes on William Wroe golf course. We also want to stop the land at Flixton Park, Flixton Field and Flixton House being taken out of Green Belt and downgrade it to 'protected open space', as we firmly believe that this would leave the whole site very vulnerable to development in the future.

You can watch a short video about it here bit.ly/FlixtonGreenBelt

To do this, we need to prove to the independent planning inspector that there are more suitable sites in Trafford on which to build houses, and that the Council does NOT have the exceptional circumstances required to move the green belt boundary.

We firmly believe that challenging the 'exceptional circumstances' element needed to remove Green Belt status is our best way forward, and are looking to appoint a planning consultant to carry out this work on our behalf. They will independently assess all of the brownfield sites in Trafford and produce an up to date report for us which we will use in our challenge. We have budgeted a provisional figure of £5k but will go out to a competitive tender of three quotes to ensure we get best value for our money.

So, please donate whatever you can. If we pull together we can achieve great things, for us and for future generations.

Thank you so much in advance, and please share, share, share!
