Chidswell Action Group was formed over 10 years ago for the purpose of protecting the Chidswell fields from unwanted development.

Fields that are under threat yet again.

This website has been created in order to highlight the issues that we as a group are focussed on, the 6 key areas out of many where this development will have the most detrimental effect. Those are areas are listed below and regularly throughout the site. Each topic has its own page with various articles relating to that topic.

These are the 6 main areas on which we are opposing the development.

This countryside is our areas ‘natural filter’ for pollution and a great place to go for a walk. 

We’d rather keep it.

These beautiful woodlands have been here a lot longer than us and is brimming with beautiful trees. 

We think they have a right to stay.

Our natural environment is an amazing system that supports our way of life in more ways than we will ever know. 

Let’s let it.

There have been over 50 key species of wildlife identified on these fields so far.

This is their habitat and should remain so.

Our roads are busy enough as it is. An additional 2000 cars and lorries per day will be too much. Even the Highways Agency think so.

Class sizes are too high in the area already. Over 1500 houses will add even more pressure. Our childrens health and education need protecting.
