17th Feb 2009: A large group of residents gathers to protest at the proposed Moor Lane Housing Development Access route attracting coverage from the local media. Here we see the residents lined-up for a photo. Protest Boards at the forefront.
Photo of a Green Woodpecker spotted in Moor Lane. This bird species is officially classified by the RSPB as having ‘Amber status’ indicating that the species has declined in last 25 years. More info can be found on the informative RSPB site here: Green Woodpecker. Another reason to cherish the Westfield Common Area.
