Friends of the Loxley Valley have printed thousands of leaflets to let people know that there is now more time to comment on plans for a new township in the heart of the valley.
Our members are now delivering the leaflets to every home and business in the valley, and to neighbouring areas like Hillsborough and Walkley.
The leaflets give guidance on how to make your views known to the Sheffield City Council planning committee.
They explain why there is more time to comment – the official statutory consultation period now ends on July 30th.
And they summarise progress in the #NoLoxleyTownship campaign so far.
Nearly 800 individuals and organisations have objected at the time of writing this post.
They include the Peak District National Park Authority, the Campaign to Protect Rural England, the Rivelin Valley Conservation Group, plus our two MPs and local councillors.
The leaflet is also available electronically. It includes links that you can use to make comments to the planners.
You can download it here. Please feel free to share it widely if you know people further afield who might help with our campaign.
It would be disgraceful to destroy the industrial heritage of the valley and build houses where the infrastructure will not support a large population increase in addition to the inevitable damage to natural habitat and the beauty of the area on the fringe of a National Park.
