A new website will support the campaign by local residents to stop the development of football pitches with clubhouse/licensed bar in the grounds of Bitterne Park School.
The site promises to provide up-to-date information on the campaign for local residents, and a record of what’s been done and what went on which might be useful to other community groups fighting a similar development.
But organisers also stress that the campaign is not against the school, or against sports facilities for school and after-school use: “It is a campaign against a commercial development that, if it goes ahead, will line the pockets of shareholders living many many miles away, yet will have a huge impact on the quality of life for many local residents,” says the homepage.
