“However, we need more members. With an increasing local population and pressure to build more housing the need to ensure that there are also sufficient green spaces for people to enjoy becomes more pressing.

"The more members we have the stronger is our voice.”

Anyone who wants to join should email [email protected] or message the society on its Facebook page.
