If Sir William Proby is so concerned about the loss of green spaces then he shold set an example and withdraw plans for the Erddig development and scrap them as well as any other planned development they have on the cards and if he can t do that then this statement that was released saying they want to protect the green spaces is a load of rubbish and they should not be trusted in what they say, alot of people don t have any trust in them any more because of what they trying to do, they are supposed to conserve not build on countryside so how can we believe in what they tell us if they are to do the opposite and press on with this development at Rhostyllen.As far as I m concerned they are the National Distrust until they prove themselves different which I doubt they can do because of their underhandedness.I would like to see their figures next year on their membership as i know they are losing more members every day because of this and the last thing they need is bad publicity but they are obviously not thinking about how that will affect them and the money they stand to lose from this and we will carry on lobbying National Trust members to highlight what they are doing and we will continue to do so until they change their policy and preserve what they are supposed to be doing as a charity not as a developer for profit.

Don't worry folks, Sir William's National Trust is coming to our rescue!!! It's building 700 houses at Colehill, nr. Wimborne, Dorset, ON GREENFIELD LAND!!! It has built 500 houses at Stamford Brook, Altrincham, ON GREENFIELD LAND!!! They want to build 223 houses at Erddig, nr Wrexham, ON GREENFIELD LAND!!! So don't worry the National Trust will protect our greenfield open spaces:- they'll bury them under residential developments. It is my belief that the National Trust is intent on acquiring the biggest land-bank in the country, and mostly free of charge, (Erddig cost nothing), so that it can realise its ambition to become the biggest property developer in Britain!!! Do you have a National Trust property in your area? BE VIGILANT, there's a thief about!!!

If we need more home, such as flats (apartments) why no build tham on the green area outside the Guildhall in Wrexham, they would sell like Hotcakes, and at a price that would make a massive profit for someone, or is that Greenfield not up for grabs.We have more brownfield sits within the County Borough that must be cleared and developed before even think about lining some developers pockets. A prime site is being developed at this moment, and that is the former Brymbo Steelwork site.This is to a greater extent beneficial to the County and keeps the green areas as they should be, and that is a buffer between villages, so they can keep their own identity.

If we continue to build on greenfield land, how and where are we going to produce food for our growing population. The thing is,that central government keep telling us the we need more exercise to stop us getting unfit, but when we have builders buying up plots of greenfields so as to make a vast profit, and keep fit clubs charging over the odds, when it would be far better to be able to walk and cycle in the countryside than breath in recycled air in some expensive jym. We are lossing our playing fields to developers left right and centre, and if you ask the local authority they tell you that this land was put forward for housing a long time ago,but they have power to change this for the benefit of future generation, we must use brownfields site first and restrict all greenfield development, or how about building apartments on the green area by the guildhall, just thing how much cash this would bring in to the councils coffers, or is that a green belt to far?.
