Quote: Droopy "If we could get 20 or so local sporting teams, whether they are football teams, rugby teams or whatever, to submit objections it backs the council into the corner even more! Other organisations could be approached, schools, colleges...charities?'"
We did this at the original consultation - I arranged for the Principal of one of the district's biggest schools (and an NLE, or 'Superhead') to attend and speak in support of the application to remove the land from green belt, on the basis that we needed more community facilities, and of the benefits physical activity has on the educational outcomes for young people.
I don't know if it would be possible now - most schools are part of academy chains, and they're very political animals; their CEO's may not be permitted to weigh in to an action that pits them against WMDC.
