This as important message to all birders who know and visit Pomona.
There is another planning application for Pomona. Ref is 93779/FUL/18 so if you go to Trafford council's website, search planning applications you should find it and comment whether you object or approve.
Peel already cleared most of the scrub before they submitted the planning application probably because they know they can get away with it and because they think there is less chance of objection from the public.
Also, if you have any biological records please submit them to GMEU as soon as you can.
Petition now more than 1600 signatures, online peoples' public consultation has more than 250 responses and significant media coverage including Salford Star, BBC Wildlife Magazine and That's Manchester TV
We have had support for the Save Pomona campaign from Natalie Bennett, Linford Christie, Jon Thomson, Maxine Peake, Liz McIvor, Julie Ward MEP, Trafford Green Party and some Labour politicians
Trafford Council Planning Committee meeting Thursday 12th November 6:30pm, protest at Trafford Town Hall from 5:30pm
Just writing my speech now

Sorry that I missed this day; it would be a terrible shame if this site were lost; will e-mail the council, and would also like a link to your petition, if possible.
Pomona Docks, the site on Salford Quays with the highest biodiversity levels, currently under threat
All Salford Quays birders know how amazing this site is, for breeding birds, passage migrant birds, for flora and bees, and and what a green gem it is, just a mile from Manchester City Centre
There is a Save Pomona campaign that has lots of public support
A change.org petition, in about 2 weeks, has over 1,500 signatures
There is growing support for the area to become an Eden Project For The North
Comments and objections can be sent to
development.control@trafford.gov.uk
Please get emails to Trafford Council Planning ASAP
To speak to the Case Officer, the number is 0161-912-1485
