CAMPAIGNERS have vowed to make things "as difficult as possible" for a developer in a bid to safeguard a Petersfield meadow.

Residents are ready to bombard Beechcroft Developments with letters and e-mails in a bid to get them to hand over North Field.

The green oasis north of Merritts Meadow could be sealed off at any time by the firm because a planning agreement wasn't properly checked.

The planning officer has publicly apologised for the mistake and efforts are being made by East Hampshire District Council to rectify the issue.

But people who live around the meadow say that Beechcroft isn't playing ball and has resisted any offers to maintain the site.
