Holmfirth to Almondbury for "Area of outstanding natural beauty" for protection of Ancient Hillfort

Richard Andrew Kelly writes: i intend to try get the Area Designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty.

it will be able to qualify as
1. Highest Grade of level of protected Neolithic heritage site
2. landscape on the edge of pennine hills unique land and terrain area



a petition with 19,000 signatures can override the local Kirklees Council decision making powers and the body of the Natural England. because triggering a local referendum raises powers to the local constituents to decide.

therefore i seek to override Kirklees Council and Natural England, in order to protect the site and make the surrounding area protected and appreciated as it is very underrated and we only have this one site. and have been losing countryside to urbanisation. the site also is culturally symbolic and significant in history and modern folklore.

it will be possible to get the 19,000 signatures under the right to petition, from the people of the UK. commuters, locals and those enthusiasts and lovers of ancient sites... have a right to petition. equal number to 3% of Kirklees electorate is about 19k signatures i believe this is easily achievable from the archaeology, Conservation, Academic and enthusiasts community and locals... to trigger a vote by the Kirklees residents by referendum on if to make the Area an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Thank You

Video is not finished yet, as we havent all the drone footage yet...
