Keep The Dell Free

The first thing we need to keep in mind, is that we believe that this could be a positive project, that will be to the benefit of Hitchin residents, It's just in the wrong place.

So lets be positive - the best way we can help is by finding a better place to build this project, and convincing the developers that they need to do this.

If you own land, or are aware of public land that would suite this project, let us know and we'll let the organisers of the Jump project know. Or just talk to them directly.

They are looking for a place that is

outside
it's surroundings give it a "cut-off feel" which is conducive to group activities / bonding.
accessible
has or could have parking

But think outside the box. They are talking about quite large budgets. There's nothing to stop them planting trees. Maybe they could create a fake forest in a aircraft hanger and gain all weather usage. Give us your suggestions. Give them your suggestions.

Alternative Sites

Current suggestions we have had include:

The Priory
Blue Harts
King Georges playing fields
Fairlands Valley
Butts Close (by the swimming pool)
Ransom's Recreation Ground

but we are sure there are a lot more places around that would be suitable. Please let us know of any you can think of.

Likewise, if you feel about any of the above areas in the same way as we feel about The Dell, then let us know that too.

Please sign our petition.

^ we promise not to pass on your email address to any third part but if you agree we will contact you and let you know of any updates or further action

Your comments get truncated at 1024 characters (about 25 lines) - send us an email if you want to say more.

If you'd like to give a little more help, you can print a copy of the petition form, and get all your friends and colleagues to sign it too. Then send it to us at

Don't Jump
C/O Bob at Club 85
74 Whinbush Road
Hitchin

or just drop it through the door of Club 85 (Glyn is also accepting them if you see him)

You can also download a copy of our Don't Jump flyer as A4 to display or our flyer as A6 to hand out.

Following comments about how pointless it is having one A6 flyer available (yes you were right) you can now download an A4 page which includes 4 A6 flyers ...

4 x flyer at 300 dpi (higher quality - larger download size)
4 x flyer at 72 dpi (smaller download - but not as sharp)

Note - because these are exactly A4 sized - you may need to put them into a graphics package, or use picture viewer to print them.

On a PC, the easiest way to do this is

Right click the link, and use 'save as' to download to your computer.
double click the file when it has downloaded - this will open the file in picture viewer
right click the image and select print

if your printer does not print right up to the edges of the paper select the option to scale to the size of the page.

Most of all, please Don't Jump! Think about what we will all lose, and how this project will effect The Dell when they surround it in a security fence, and prevent us from entering. There is a reason The Dell has a conservation order on it. It's an area of outstanding local beauty, even if it is sometimes untidy, and it should remain free for all of Hitchins residents to use.
