Show your support for Crabtree Park tomorrow (Sunday 17th October) at 12.15pm

Tomorrow - Sunday 17th October - the BBC are coming to Crabtree Park to do a piece about the planned

development by Camberley Town Football Club. The football club started a

consultation process about their plans to expand and build a new pitch and club

house on land that is currently part of Crabtree Park

back in July and since then opposition has grown.

At a recent public meeting approximately 130 people turned

out to voice their objections to the plans and a group, The Friends of Crabtree

Park has been formed to fight the planned development that will reduce the park

space for the general public.  Stephen

Casey, the chairman of The Friends of Crabtree Park will be interviewed for the

BBC report and would like to see as many people as possible out in support of

the park.  So if you feel that too much

of our open space is under threat from developers, please come along to Crabtree Park tomorrow at 12.15pm and show your

support.  Bring your friends, family and

pets and come and enjoy the park. The BBC hopes to show the report on South

Today on the afternoon and/or evening South Today programme.

The Friends of Crabtree Park is a group formed by and for

the users of Crabtree Park and local residents and is dedicated to “the

protection, preservation and maintenance of Crabtree Park

as an informal green space and place of natural beauty for the use and benefit

of the whole community.”
