Development on the former Two Trees High School site, Denton

Andrew Gwynne Excerpts

Wednesday 25th May 2016 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Gwynne (Denton and Reddish) (Lab)]

I rise to present the petition that has been collected by my constituent, Margaret Smethurst, following my Adjournment debate on 26 February concerning planning issues relating to the Haughton Green area of my constituency. The petition has 167 signatures. It is accompanied by an online Change.org petition that has 1,338 signatures.

The petition states:

The petition of residents of Haughton Green and Denton,

Declares that the fields of the former Two Trees High School in Denton should be protected from unwanted development; and further that the site should be preserved for the benefit of the environment and future generations.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Secretaries of State for Education and Communities and Local Government to protect Haughton Green and Denton’s open spaces, and prohibit unwanted development on the former site of Two Trees High School.

And the petitioners remain, etc.
