Save Orleans Riverside from Development

Since moving back to the US, I've always lovingly described to my family and friends the beauty of Twickenham's riverside. It's such a wonderful area to raise children. Orleans playground was my absolute favorite place to spend a nice afternoon. The trees, the little cafe, the large space to chase our little dog around. It would be a very sad thing to see such a special little corner of Twickenham sacrificed for something most Twickenham residents would not approve of. Never mind the fact that they weren't consulted. I hope the council will give some more serious consideration to this matter. Give the residents a chance to express their opinions and research other possible places alongside the Twickenham river that I personally know of that are not, as of yet, used for commercial purposes or family recreation.
