Morris Common Petition
Over 200 people have signed Russell Field’s petition calling for the Morris Common (officially Stoke Heath Common) to be improved and developed. Russell said, “I would like to thank everyone who has signed the petition. We will need a lot more if the Council are going to listen. I would really like to get over 500, maybe even 1000 signatures, before I present it.”
If you would like to sign the petition, or could help collect signatures in your area, please contact Russell on 7661 2689.

The Council is to receive around £100,000 ’section 106′ money from the Liberty Park development, which is most likely to be spent on children’s play facilities on the Common. However, Russell would like the Council to take this opportunity to draw up a plan to develop the whole of the Common, including dealing with the drainage and other surface problems, provide proper changing rooms and sports facilities, as well as making the area into a proper park for residents to use. Russell said, “It will be a big undertaking but I think that Stoke Heath needs it and the Common has gone to waste for far too long.”
