Save the Lilley and Stone Site
The trustees are proposing to sell the entire site. There are currently plans to build a housing estate of around 80 dwellings on the land.
We, the undersigned, support the call to halt all plans for the site in order to provide a realistic consultation period for the people of Newark. Other options can then be explored which might better serve the educational, cultural, sports and environmental needs of the town.

Why is this important?
Newark is a wonderful place, rich in history. It was originally a medieval walled town with the river making it strategic in the Midlands. Many historic buildings and sites remain to remind us of our heritage. Many have been lost or are in danger. The Lilley and Stone site is one of these. The trustees want to sell the site for a housing development. We believe that there are better solutions for the people of Newark which would increase the cultural standing and heritage value of the town.
We want to maintain the best quality of life for residents, as well as build a future legacy for our children and the next generation.
