Speaking Up for Ryebank Fields


Chorlton Labour Councillor Sheila Newman, continues to support local efforts to turn Ryebank Playing Fields into a Village Green.

The campaign to bring Ryebank Fields into community use, and to stop them being developed on, is gathering pace as we near decision time. Most local residents want the authorities to give the scheme the go ahead and to stop any development on this unique piece of land.


Sheila attended the formal inquiry on 26 November and gave evidence in support.

Sheila said:

“Ryebank Fields is a valued green space in Chorlton and we want to keep it that way. It benefits the area to have the space open to the local community. That’s why we’re doing all we can to support the campaign.”
