00:06We got together because there's a huge community concern about the development of 75 lodges
00:14in the middle of our forests, in the middle of Matlock Forest. This is a quiet forest,
00:21it's beautiful, it's full of wildlife, it's a quiet peaceful place. Forest England want to put
00:28a huge development of lodges, car parks, a car park bigger than Matlock Town Centre's car park
00:36in the middle of these woodlands. And tonight we've had loads of people, we've had over 100
00:41people here, lots and lots of people concerned about wildlife, landscape and about the impact
00:48on the local community.
