The walk is being orgainsed by Jemma Chambers, founder of the Facebook group Hucknall Against Whyburn Farm Development.

Jemma said: “The walk is taking place on Saturday, November 13, meeting on Whyburn Lane at 2.30pm – check the event details on the Facebook page.

"The walk will start at around 2.45pm and last about an hour and then we’re having a bake sale and coffee afterwards.

"There will be leaflets available about the area, letting people know what’s proposed and how they can take part in the consultation which ends on November 16.”

"We’ve had 76 people say that they’re coming and they are likely to bring friends and family too so we hopefully will have anywhere between 100 and 150 people on the day."

Jemma has also posted the following important information on the group’s Facebook page for anyone coming along to the walk:

Please do not park on Whyburn Lane.

Anyone coming along needs to wear suitable footwear for potentially muddy conditions.

“Dogs must be kept on a lead in the group walks.

You must stay on footpaths at all times and children must be supervised at all times.

The route goes through Dob park which is at risk of flooding so please take note of notices in the park.

Dob park has open access to Hucknall Bypass so please keep an eye on dogs and children.
