The grassroots campaign to save a South Macclesfield site from being turned into housing moves to the town centre.

Macctastic in conjunction with the 'SAVE DANES MOSS' campaign will provide a free presentation and Q&A on the under-threat site tonight.

The event will take place at St. Michael's Church on Tuesday Nov 1 from 7pm to 9pm, with the talks tarting at half past seven.

Organisers describe it as "a great way to catch up on all things #danesmoss on a dark evening when not able to actually be out on the Moss!"

Cheshire East Council plans suggest the site of natural beauty could host over 950 homes and a link road.

The area is thought to contain over 220,000 cubic metres of peat, which is a natural carbon sink.

Part-landowners Cheshire East Council have been contacted for comment. It is unsure if anyone representing the proposed development will attend.

If you are unsure what Danes Moss or the housing plans are, you can read more about it herehere and here.
