* Daly Way Green is a popular local amenity used by hundreds of local people.
* It is the last remaining open green space in the immediate local area.
* Granting the Green Town Green status would help protect and preserve the space for future generations.
* Aylesbury Vale District Council refuseto grant Town Green status voluntarily, and they are fighting local residents' Town Green application to Bucks County Council.
* Local residents' recent two-year campaign against Thames Water’s plans for a sewage shaft in the Green (at least 40 feet wide and 60 feet deep) shows the importance of Town Green status in protecting the area.
* If the Thames Water plan had gone ahead, the Green would have been completely destroyed during construction – all grass replaced by hardcore.
* Long term, part of the Green would have been unusable by children because of health and safety fears.
* During construction (over 10 months), 20 lorries a day would have used narrow residential roads.
* There would have been massive disruption, danger and risk of property damage from site traffic and the construction process.
* Thames Water eventually identified an alternative way of dealing with alleged local flooding - residents had been suggesting alternatives for 18 months.
* Town Green status is essential to protect the Green for future generations.
