Wyndham Hill

Yet again, Wyndham Hill in Yeovil, Somerset is under threat from the developers. This time a ‘relief road’ has been tagged onto the back of a massive shopping development proposed by a Scottish company, Peastons. If this development is given the green light it will mean the destruction of Riverside Walk, a green area used by people of all ages. The woodland habitat of the area contains mature oak, ash and beech trees and supports a great diversity of animals including badgers, bats, owls and, at present, an egret.

The road, which is estimated to solve traffic problems for only 10 years, will cut through the east side of the hill. The lower slopes are also to be developed, leaving only the very top untouched. Actions are presently being planned with the Plymouth Coalition against the CJA. For info contact: South Somerset EF! 01935 825074
