1
SAVE OUR VILLAGE GREEN

Woodcock Hill Village Green(WHVG) is under threat again!

In essence Taylor Wimpey has stolen our Village Green land to build yet more houses in an already densely packed area, by the lower meadow along Byron Ave and Vale Ave, Borehamwood.

FIGHT DEREGISTRATION

WE WANT OUR VILLAGE GREEN BACK
Despite massive public opposition, the Secretary of State has agreed that building firm Taylor Wimpey can take land from the Woodcock Hill Village Green in Byron Ave, Borehamwood, in return for giving residents less suitable land, adjacent to Barnet Lane in Elstree, This land is out of safe walking distance from local residence and will also include rail tunnel ventilation shafts.

Taylor Wimpey plan to fence off the land at Byron Ave until they get planning permission to potentially develop 110 house on land next to the site of the historic beacon.

IF WE DO NOT FIGHT THESE PLANS, THE WOODCOCK HILL VILLAGE GREEN WILL BE DESTROYED

  • Improving air quality
