Stop the building of new parking spaces at California Country Park

We the undersigned petition Wokingham Borough Council to Stop the building of 152 new car parking spaces at California Country Park as outlined in planning application 163385

The building of these new parking spaces will remove much needed green space in the park and increase the amount of traffic using Nine Mile Ride and the access road to the park.
It would also appear that no consideration has been given to the usage of the country park by 1st Finchampstead Scout Group who hold Scout meetings at their hut in the park six days a week.
The addition of these parking spaces will remove green space that the scouts use for outdoor activities such as tent pitching pioneering and outdoor games. It will also create a safeguarding issue as more traffic will pass by the scout hut when young people aged 6 - 18 are using the facility.
At a time when the country and government are challenged with increased pollution through the use of cars let's encourage people to use the park more by accessing it through walking or on bikes rather than increased traffic flow
