Field behind Rayleigh Leisure Centre
To whom it may concern.
I tried to find a way of reporting my concern anonymously as I work at a local school. I hope this is okay to email direct? We really would like to object to the field behind the leisure centre being turned into a wild area. It is an integral space for young families. It is safe away from fast roads and was a godsend in the lockdown. It is accessible for young and old and really would be a terrible loss for this crucial space to disappear! (If anything it would be great to be cut more frequently!) youngsters don’t have many places to go and we use this area frequently alongside many of the community, lovely to see youngsters playing ball, rounders, catch etc, all whilst friends use the scare park. We’ve had picnics over there and we really would be sad to see it go. The community needs wellbeing areas and this definitely is Rawreth’s!
