Furthermore, the GMSF has been replaced by “Places for everyone” and we are awaiting a revised timetable.  In the meantime, our green belt remains at risk.  It is vital we take action to save our green belt areas for ourselves, but, more importantly, for our children and our grandchildren.

LOCAL COUNCIL ELECTIONS:

In May, we will have the Local Council elections and it would be good to see one or two local people standing as independent candidates with the aim of promoting the green belt cause.  To stand does not cost any money and is pretty easy to do.  Help and guidance can be provided if YOU want to consider standing as a local independent candidate.

Please think about standing as a local candidate in the May local elections, it is extremely unlikely that you will get elected, but it will send out a clear message that local people, can support local voices, to raise concerns about local issues.
