Protesters oppose proposed golf course

A proposed golf course in the town of Klánovice near Prague has met with a wave of around 100 demonstrators opposing its construction. The golf course would be built in an area that is currently a forest, and would attempt to replicate a similar course which once existed there before the Second World War. The protesters have the support of the town’s major, who called the plan “outrageous” and dismissed notions of historical restoration as “empty clichés.” The entire saga has been dragging on for a number of years, although at present, it looks likely that the company involved will secure a lease on the land.
