Around 30 per cent of the long established Redvales playing fields in Bury could be lost to development
A council’s plans to sell off playing fields in order to build a special school have sparked a public outcry. Bury Council intends to release a significant chunk of the Redvales recreation fields for development. Those opposing the sale say the area has been used by the public for sport and outdoor leisure for generations. A proposal set to be voted on by the council’s cabinet on Wednesday allows for the sale of around 30 per cent of the current council managed Redvales playing fields .
” A third objector, said: “I work in education and my husband too, we are not opposing to the building of an SEN school but to where it’s being built. “Redvales field was gifted for recreational use for the public and not to be sold off for development. “My family use this nearly daily, taking the dogs for a walk or for the kids to enjoy exploring the wooded areas and ponds. Where the development is taking place will take that away.
