I support the proposal to designate the area of land in the Upper Ore valley (Speckled Wood) as local green space as this is a welcome step towards the local 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. Over 1300 people signed a petition to save Speckled Wood in July last year.
