SAVE HARE HATCH SHEEPLANDS

SOS Sheeplands is a great local asset. At a time when West Berks are cutting money and closing libraries and school bus provision, for them to be wasting money on trying to close down a garden centre is not just deplorable, it shows WBC as being both vindictive and incompetent. I'm a floating voter and will remember all this when the next local elections come up.

It is a pleasure to visit Hare Hatch Sheeplands and it would be a great loss to the community if it should close.

I and my friends want to continue shopping at an independently run business which cares about its customers and offers us great advice and a choice of goods rather than only have the likes of Wyevale where every single garden centre is the same

Because it's an excellent business bringing jobs and services to the community.

I love shopping at this wonderful garden centre/nursery. I remember it 20 or more years ago and it has added to the local area a great deal. It would be a travesty if it were to close. It's a shame WDC give planning for so many new houses on green belt land in the Shinfield area but are worried about this small centre!!

So as to try to keep a good business going it's always a pleasure to visit this site

The community needs to retain the excellent service that Sheeplands provides for its many customers. We would lose a wonderful amenity, if this facility were to be closed down.
