Good news on our Green belt

One of the issues that I care deeply about is preservation of our countryside and green belt.

For some reason Labour has decreed that thousands of buildings will be plastered across our countryside and green belt, without local residents having any real say. They have also put power in the hands of unelected quangos.

That is why I was delighted that in a major visit today to Harlow Constituency, Shadow Local Government Secretary Caroline Spelman MP set out Conservative plans to curtail Labour's plans to build over our Green Belt.

Visiting the Nazeing Green Belt Action Group, Mrs Spelman confirmed that:

* A Conservative Government would abolish the East of England Regional Assembly &

* Would abolish Housing targets and scrap the Government's Regional Spatial strategy.

I was honoured to welcome Caroline Spelman MP into Harlow and pleased she confirmed that local people would decide housing needs not unelected quangos or Gordon Brown!
