The Maer Hills Action Group is campaigning against a proposed major property development in the Maer Hills—an area much loved by Charles Darwin. Maer Hall was a favourite haunt of Darwin's. It was the home of his uncle, Josiah Wedgwood, and he spent many happy days there in his youth, hunting, shooting and fishing. The Maer Hills Action Group makes a strong case that the proposed property development seems speculative in the extreme.
That's right, the cheeky property developers have the nerve to call the proposed new development The Evolution Leisure Village. Darwin must be spinning in his grave. I wish the Maer Hills Action Group the best of luck with their campaign.
