I am pleased to present this petition on behalf of residents of Irlam, Cardishead and Barton wards in my constituency who are concerned about proposals to build on an area of Barton that is in the green belt.
The petition states:
The Petition of residents of Irlam, Cardishead and Barton,
Declares that the Petitioners strongly oppose the proposals of Peel Holdings to build up to 1,400 houses as well as warehouses in the green belt area at Barton (Irlam ward), which is bound by the M62 (North), A57 (South), Manchester City Airport (East) and Irlam (West); and further that the Petitioners believe that Boysnope Golf Course (an excellent leisure facility for the local community) should not be shut down.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons does all in its power to prevent this development proposal from taking place.
And the Petitioners remain, etc.
[P001351]
