I FOR one will be voting no to the Neighbourhood Plan for Bradford as we have been terribly let down by the BOA Town Council, The Preservation Trust and Wiltshire Council as the one area which has not been included in the protection for open green spaces is the Avon Sports Ground, in Trowbridge Road. 
Sport has been played on this ground for more than 100 years and should have been included in the plan. 
Are the residents of Bradford aware that the Avon Sports Ground was sold off to Fields In Trust (which are supposed to protect sports grounds) in 2002 for £70,000? And the decision made at the September council was that the Fields In Trust council agreed to the further investigation of the sale of the Bradford on Avon field. Again, another area lost to developers.
Therefore I urge the residents of Bradford on Avon to vote no.
