It had been a red-hot afternoon in Shropshire, and there was plenty of fire in the bellies of residents who spoke passionately about their fears of the proposal going ahead.He also labelled the offer of £120,000 by the developer for the loss of green space as"no compensation". Allan Caswell, who was born in 1943 and grew up in Bayston Hill, insisted the Glebelands has"always been the recreational hub" of the village, and shared memories of organising football matches.
Andy Goldsmith, who is involved in organising the groups, said:"The Bayston Hill Scouts and Guides has been there since 1974. There is no other facility to provide for the needs of our scouts and guides."
