Rejected petition Protect Golf Courses and other Sports Grounds from redevelopment.
Pass legislation that protects golf courses and other outdoor sports grounds from redevelopment.
More details
It is estimated that at least 100,000 people have taken up golf in the last year, but local councils seem to regard golf courses and other sports grounds as the first option for the building of new housing developments! Many very decent golf courses have gone this way in the last few years! Outdoor sport and recreation are important for the health and wellbeing of many people and should be encouraged.
