I AM disappointed to see that the vociferous minority are trying to scupper the excellent proposal to provide a facility for our local youths at the Hollands Nursery site.
It goes without saying that the local youths need a focus for their energies, and what better way than to provide them with the proposed sporting facility.
It is about time we put our youths first in this locality and made them feel more valued than the occasional dog walker, who currently has the benefit from this land.
Objectors seem to put great stead in the fact that the area was bequeathed as "open land". I believe that the provision of this sporting facility is in fact the modern day equivalent of what our forebears had in mind.
Bring this land back to the majority community!
