🌿 HELP US PROTECT LAGAN VALLEY REGIONAL PARK 🌿
33 Months On – Your Support is More Important Than Ever!
Dear Friends and Supporters,
It’s been a sobering couple of years, filled with challenges and obstacles that at times seemed overwhelming. Yet, thanks to you and the dedication of our 1,904 signatories, we’ve made incredible progress. Today, the Quarterlands GROUP is an official community group and an NGO, committed to continuing the fight to protect the Lagan Valley Regional Park and its unique biodiversity.
Now, as we prepare to attend a specially convened Planning Committee meeting with the Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council’s Planning Department, we need your support more than ever.
🌟 Why This Fight Is So Important
The Lagan Valley Regional Park is a rare and precious natural space, home to a rich variety of wildlife and plant life. Allowing greenfield development here is jeopardising the very biodiversity that makes our region unique. We believe in sustainable growth, focusing on brownfield development first, and we need to make that message crystal clear to the Council.
But no matter what happens at the meeting, we are committed to protecting Lagan Valley in the days, months, and years to come. This is a long-term fight, and we are in it for the long haul. 🛠️
