Proposal to sell Quibell Fields

Nicholas Dakin Excerpts

Tuesday 17th April 2018 Commons Chamber

[Nic Dakin (Scunthorpe) (Lab)]

Scunthorpe is proudly an industrial garden town and that garden part is very important, so I am proud to present this petition gathered by Cheryl Hassall on behalf of people in Scunthorpe wanting to preserve the green and open space that is the Quibell fields.

The petition states:

The petition of residents of Scunthorpe and the wider North Lincolnshire area,

Declares that proposals for land off Dartmouth Road also known as ‘Quibell Fields’ to be sold and used for housing, should, instead, be retained for community leisure use and a safe place for children to play.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to intervene with North Lincolnshire Council to safeguard the land off Dartmouth Road known as ‘Quibell Fields’ for wider community use.

And the petitioners remain, etc.
