Who Have FoPMOS Spoken to?

The Ward Committee - Several written questions have been submitted and answered. Details here, here and here.

Ward Councillors - Cllr David Sedgewick and Cllr John Taylor. Both claim they are opposed to any further development. 

Liz Atherton - Council environment officer.

Chris Silk - Dept Head at St Thomas’ School. The school would wish the space to be a joint use space with the Community, which they would want to use for outdoor education and have recently hired a teacher to run this and other environment / outdoor classes. There exists already a gate between the Astro turf area and the school and Chris Silk is very keen to work in collaboration with FoPMOS to ensure the space is used for benefit of the school and the community in perpetuity.

Sustainable Living in the Heatons - They would wish to see the area retained as a community open space with a strong conservation element.

Heaton Moor Golf Course - They are keen that the area is not developed for housing and asked that they are kept informed with any updates. Hoping to engage them further with support for meetings etc.

Local Residents - We had a great turn out for the Litter Pick on 3rd June.  There is strong local support for a community open space.
