Stop the build of houses on Mellands playing field in Gorton keep the greenspace
Gorton is a poverty stricken area and Mellands field offers a safe place to play for youngsters as its the only Green space we have left now. Every bit of land is built on, in Gorton. Stop the build Gorton. The plan to ignore the convent for recreational use only and build houses must be stopped.
Mellands has been a popular place for outdoor sports and nature trials for over 3 generations. Many people grew up playing in those fields its an important part of our history. The army camp nearby was built on not long ago so lets keep the little bit of history we have left. Let kids have the great outdoors. Keep our diverse wildlife don't destroy their habitat. Please don't take our green space away. Please lets work together and stop this build. Thankyou in advance Gorton.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local planning issues are the responsibility of your local council.

Once an application is made for the development to take place, all local residents have the right to request that a planning application be ‘called in’ by the Department for Communities and Local Government. This means that it will assess the planning application against certain criteria and decide if a full inquiry is needed. For more information, including the criteria and how to request the call in of a planning application, see:
