There is absolutely no need for the Play Trail. I regularly take my two grandchildren (4 and 6) to Newlands corner and there are plenty of NATURAL play things – climbing trees, sliding down slopes, balancing on logs, building dens etc. DO NOT WASTE MONEY on this totally unnecessary project.

Newlands Corner is so historical and also has the most wonderful views and to bough to the wims of children who are just as happy to run free as have a ready made play area on site is frankly a complete waste of our money says a mother and grandmother who has been visiting Newlands for 4yrs and having to paying £1 an hour for parking is very unfair to ordinary people who only want to visit.

Newlands Corner is and always has been valued for its rural naturalness. The proposals would make this location more like a municipal park and would be totally out of character for this area. The woodlands are fantastic just as they are and should be left alone. There are some beautiful trees in the woodland which have been protected for centuries but are now under threat from unnecessary development. I really hope the local authorities will respect the public consultation process and take account of the strength of public opposition and think carefully to avoid permanently spoiling this sensitive location. They should try to find a more appropriate location for their development rather than building on the very thing which should be protected.
