I support the keeping of Speckled Wood in the Upper Ore Valley as a local green space as this is a welcome step towards the campaign to protect the whole of Speckled Wood. I would prefer to see the three areas identified for development also included in the local green space area. I understand over 1,300 people signed the petition last year to save Speckled Wood.

Speckled Wood is a piece of countryside in a built up area. Its loss woulde be a tragedy for both humans and wild creatures. I have memories of blackberrying there with my grandfather and also using the adjacent play area - long gone. The footpaths are well used and it is a joy to be away from traffic noise. Also a section of the proposed Hastings Greenway route is planned to pass through the wood.
