Save Kirkintilloch's Green Belt
The purpose of this petition is to ask Local Government to deny Barrat Homes permission to destroy an area of Green Belt.
Barrat Homes is seeking approval to proceed with plans to build houses on land at Braes O' Yetts Farm, Kirkintilloch, G66 3TQ
The area of countryside that they are proposing to build on is home to the following - The endangered Great Crested Newt, families of Deer, Curlews, Oyster Catchers, Greylag Geese, Canadian Geese, Foxes, Frogs, Herons, Ducks, Buzzards, Sparrow Hawks, Woodpeckers, Goldfinches and Great Tits plus much more.
Alarmingly the proposed area is alongside Merkland Nature Reserve which itself is home to many rare forms of insects, plants & wildlife and has huge education benefits for local children.
Any construction work next to the Nature Reserve would be a environmental catastrophe for its future.
We believe the Council should protect this land for future generations.
