I have lived in Millcroft, backing onto the 11th hole of Millcroft Golf course, for 13 years. During this time, I have seen two massive floods of the ravine behind my house where the water levels rose to 3ft above ground level. i’ve also seen annual expansion of the ravine after snow melt, and during heavy periods of rain, which floods the golf course. It would not only be an insurance nightmare, but an unsafe place to build houses. Furthermore, Halton conservation has spent years assessing and limiting structural changes to our backyards in order to preserve the natural land. This includes surveys with pool permits and fencing changes. Any development on the golf course would be a complete contradiction to what Halton conservation has been doing for years. I urge the province to decline development on the Millcroft greens and allow this space to be green space, not only for preservation of the land and its animal inhabitants, but also given the high risk of flooding with new development. I strongly oppose ANY housing development on the area.
