Letter: Unbalancing our Nature
Local Gorilla Gardener (Tom Hampson) Leigh Reporter
Wednesday 22 Mar 2006 BEING a bit of a gorilla gardener (someone who grows his or her herbs in the wild) in this area over the last 10 or so years has made me think of the Leigh Sports Village site and all the argument surrounding this project. I feel I must point out to everybody in the area that out of all the open grass covered areas in Leigh, the site chosen for the LSV is actually the only open area with soil beneath the grass. All the other areas consist of coal industry waste and construction waste like brick concrete and clay. So in Mother Nature terms, the environment and wildlife will definitely be severely unbalanced in this area in the future and that is a fact. But never mind nature and the environment, not many people in our society these days understand or know how to respect it. I’m not blaming them personally, when you look at all life’s so-called luxuries in our way of life it’s no wonder people have forgot or can’t be bothered with it. But to hear the people who do speak up on these issues being called ridiculous and made to sound like enemies of the town this upsets me because they are thinking of the future environment of the town. Looking at the plan of Leigh, alternative sites already damaged by industry are scattered around Leigh and could have accommodated these facilities. So why has such an environment friendly council decided on this site? Local Gorilla Gardener (Name and address supplied: Tom Hampson, Leigh)
