Green belt future set to be election battleground


Apologies for the lack of postings this week, but I have been moving house. They say it is one of the most stressful things that have ever happened, and it certainly is!

I was interested to read reports in the Daily Telegraph newspapers over the past couple of days about Government plans to build over the green belt.

Sadly, the reports have confirmed my worst fears. Gordon Brown intends to ram through building on our green belt areas, with little consultation.

My main objection to the Government housebuilding plans has been precisely this. Housing targets have been set from the centre. House building (when and where) has been set from the centre. There has been no genuine consultation involving local people and no guarantees of infrastructure funding.
