A petition has been launched to protect Southill Fields in Weymouth from proposed housing development near Radipole Lane, which would involve building 350 houses. Campaigners argue the fields are vital green spaces for community activities like walking, playing, and nature exploration, as well as habitat for local wildlife, including buzzards, kestrels, deer, and dormice. Supporters are urging the Dorset planning authority to reject the development plans, emphasizing the need to preserve the area for residents, wildlife, and future generations. The online campaign has started gaining signatures from concerned residents.
