Direction of Government

Contribution

Over the summer, the Prime Minister opposed development on green spaces in his constituency, saying: “It offers no benefit to the local community and will place huge strain on local infrastructure.” My constituents face the same pressures, so will he commit to new and meaningful green-belt protections, to protect those green spaces in both our constituencies; make sure that houses are built only when there has been meaningful consultation with communities, when communities are being listened to, and when infrastructure is in place; and please, scrap the ridiculous “grey belt” definition?
