Save Broom and Lees
This beautiful field and the diverse wildlife that surrounds it - including owls, deer, insects and varied flora - provides pleasure to many people and recreation for Charterhouse school pupils. When the ground was originally prepared the final levelling was done by the feet of pupils who were required to tread it down, inch by inch. The field's status as protected Green Belt is now under threat following Charterhouse School's declared intention to have it dug up for a housing estate.
First Demonstration. A small, good humoured and well received demonstration was staged by members of the Save Broom and Lees Campaign outside the school on Saturday 22 September 2018. It needed to be good humoured as the placard bearers had to cope with heavy rain. Thank you to everyone who made it. It was notable that many passing motorists both waved and sounded their horns to show their support. There were more photos, and several families participated, but some images have children on them so are only used with parental permission. Click on the images below to see the larger pictures.
Second Demonstration. Saturday 24th November 2018. Members of the Save Broom and Lees Campaign were outside the school once more, reiterating the point about saving the land that lies within the Green Belt from development. Unfortunately, it turned out to be another wet day but in true SB & L spirit everyone enjoyed it. Once more, thank you to everyone who made it. As before, it was notable that many passing motorists both waved and sounded their horns to show their support. Click on the images below to see the larger pictures.
