LeckhamptonOnline meets LEGLAG’s Kit Braunholtz
If you live in Leckhampton you should be aware of the gentle army that is LEGLAG.
LEGLAG (Leckhampton Green Land Action Group) is continually striving to protect the green field areas in Leckhampton from inappropriate, large-scale development. LeckhamptonOnline met with Kit Braunholtz, Chairman of LEGLAG to talk about the ongoing fight and what Leckhampton can do to help.
It’s easy to do your bit to support LEGLAG. Membership is a tiny £3 for 3 years. Surely every Leckhampton resident should be a member? We’ve made it easy for you to download the membership form here. Come on now, no excuses. Please do it now and let’s keep Leckhampton green together.

Also there is a facebook group on the Leckhampton fields issue – hopefully this link will work – http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=41462973624&ref=ts
If not search Save Leckhampton and Shurdington Green Fields from Development on Facebook.
If Leckhampton folk wish to write to the council to ask for the former White land to be protected from development one way to do this is to contact the Joint Core Strategy team – You should write to this address:
• Joint Core Strategy Team, Cheltenham Borough Council, Municipal Offices, Promenade, GL50 9SA
• or contact them by email at info@gct-jcs.org
Giving reasons as to why the fields in Leckhampton are important to you. For example – ‘This area of land is of high local community interest due its attractiveness, views in and out of the AONB and the contribution it makes to the setting of Cheltenham. It is also highly valued for its easy accessibility for informal recreation, local food production, wildlife, environmental and ecological interest.’
