To many of us Oglet and the fields, woods and shore were places we played as children. Some of us still go here today. A few of us are fighting the airport plans to flatten the lot. Here are some photos, past and present of the last little piece of countryside left in Speke. If you are interested in joining the campaign to save it, please visit this page where you will find various ways to help: Home | Save Oglet Shore & Greenbelt (speke8.wixsite.com)
We don't know what the future will bring. Peel who own the airport own most of the land on both sides of the river now and are a huge company who have the money to buy and build whatever they like. They have had the greenbelt status taken off Oglet and are clearing the last field on Hale Road to put in a solar farm, supposedly green, or is that just what we're supposed to think?
The Save Oglet campaign is growing in size and voice though so hopefully, with your help,
we will be able to save what's left. The campaign continues...
(Warning: a couple of the protest signs shown here have 'naughty' words on them!)
