(Sent to Cllr Gifford)
As a resident of North Leamington I share your relief that sporadic intrusion into the green belt in this area is no longer proposed. I live in Northumberland Road (No 17) I was an allotment holder close by but anno domine and good sense persuaded me not to continue with this For the sake of the other allotment holders I am relieved that their area is no longer under threat As a dog owner and walker and bringing up a family in the area I am entirely convinced that the Leamington Parks and unusually accesible green belt is a major factor behind the appeal of this area across a wide spectrum of people These people including many who commute to places of work away from the town nevertheless support the local businesses within the Town which in turn are a part of the Town's charm and appeal Please convey to whomsoever might be in a position to ensure the continuing protection of the area generally my views . I hasten to say that as a former resident of Coventry for over 30 years I am also well aware of the particular appeal of many parts of that City but the need to avoid urban sprawl merging the identity of south Coventry Kenilworth and North Leamington to the detriment of all three must surely be apparent to the residents of all three
