Leeds – NGT a trolley bus – old technology. Destroying the local area. Costing the taxpayer £173.5 million with any overspend funded by the local taxpayer.

So there is no North South Divide!

I keep horses on the beautiful Headingley Moor at Hinsley Hall and have tended both the rescue horses and the land with greatest reverence and respect. It is a wonderful pastoral retreat from the hectic thoroughfare through Headingley. It is a conservation area that boasts myriads of birds some of whom are protected such as the woodpeckers. There are colonies of bats which once again are protected. In the twilight hours deer graze with the horses and foxes slink around the fields. There are vast numbers of listed mature trees who have seen the centuries come and go. The land was originally owned by the monks of Kirkstall Abbey and was sold during the reign of Henry the VIII to Hinsley Hall. It is pastoral heaven and is quietly enjoyed by large numbers of people as a respite from tourist destination that Headingley has become. I feel distraught beyond words that all this could be bull-dozered down and ruined. I fear for the future of the horses that I have devoted my life to and have worked long hours to financially afford it. I tend these fields at hours and in all weathers. They and the landscape are all that is worth living for. The route should not be allowed through this land which should remain protected and conserved from any development. This legacy is the only one worthwhile handing down to future generations. The designers of this route to even think of its ruination are utterly morally bankrupt. No-one wants this Follybus and no-one is listening. Some residents feel suicidal. It has got to be stopped.
Yours faithfully,
Lorraine Nelis
