This petition aims to persuade Chesterfield Borough Council to withdraw support for Peak Gateway in Unstone, Chesterfield, Derbyshire. 

This petition aims to show the council that the people of Chesterfield do not want a park and ride type scheme taking money and visitors from the town into the Peak 

This petition aims to show the council that the people of Chesterfield do not believe that the jobs created - indeed the developer is utilising the skills of a London based architect - will be to locals. Indeed the last project was looking at shipping equipment in from Europe. 

In my opinion and that of many others this simply is a different development to that originally granted planning permission some 30 years ago

The latest project with its nearly 2000 space car park will create hundreds if not thousands of vehicular movements each day - bringing  air, noise and light pollution to the local community. 

The local roads are already straining and that is without the residential traffic yet from the planned developments at Dunston and Dronfield.

The wildlife will suffer undeniably on site and in the surrounding area as allegedly hundreds and thousands of visitors descend on this small village - notwithstanding the 1000/2000/3000 jobs it is planning to create in its various phases. 

More than Alton Towers - Thorpe Park - Longleat safari park ?

Where would all these employees even park ?

The project has not found success in its many guises over the last 30 years despite Council support, front pages in the press and millions in public funding to facilitate road works and access. 

The lack of consultation with some of the local residents for a project of this size is simply staggering 

Last time out it was to be "Adrenaline World" - go karts - swings - climbing walls 

The developer and indeed the Council appear more and more desperate to build something here - anything - as if this will vindicate all the years of support and all the money spent - but sometimes if something is destined for failure then that is just what it is - destined for failure !

So - Its is now time to return the public money 

Its now time to stop wasting the resources of the planning authority personnel 

Its now time to let the people of Unstone and the surrounding areas get on with their lives without this project hanging over them 

Enough is enough 

Please reject all the applications
