'If we lose that space it never comes back.'
A south side community has said it will fight to save "the only greenspace at the heart of Mount Florida" after new plans were unveiled for a housing development on the former bowling club site.
However Nicola Smith, a director at Mount Florida Community Trust, said the trust will object to the plans as it wants to retain the whole space for future generations. A spokesperson for NOAH said: “We are delighted to have submitted this planning application, which will see the redevelopment of the site, with half of it gifted at no cost to the local community and the current pavilion building upgrade to a new community hub, which can be used for a variety of local uses.
Ms Smith said: “It’s not about blocking the building of homes, it’s about saving the only greenspace at the heart of Mount Florida. If we lose that space it never comes back. Judith Pollock, chair of the community council, said Mount Florida is a densely populated area with a lack of open space and the city council’s strategy on open space says it should be retained where it can be.
