I support the proposal to designate the area of land in the Upper Ore Valley (Speckled Wood) as Local Green Space and 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 as Local Green Space. Over 130 people signed a petition to protect Speckled Wood in July 2012.

The wood is already being used by local people who use the footpaths and enjoy the peace of the woodland and the stream that runs through it. It would be marvellous to be able to provide a village green for Ore Village together with a children's play space, and a section of the route for the planned Hastings Greenway from the town centre to Ore.
