Well, he's going to have a long wait. Members of KRHR Action Group are planning on taking up residence down there, and this tree has already been booked!
The council lists spurious benefits of its plan to develop on green belt plan as the only way to create new jobs and homes, as if building on existing on brown belt land doesn’t give us these benefits! Yes creating a greater number of smaller industrial and residential developments may cost more but the benefits massively outweigh downside. As someone has already posted there IS the available brown belt land available in our area that looks unsightly and needs redevelopment.
• We redevelop run down areas of the borough making the surrounding built up areas more desirable thus attracting more investment and civic pride.
• We preserve the existing green belt land in our area for ourselves and future generations to enjoy. Most people in this area have chosen to live in a rural / semi rural area. If we wanted to live in centre of Leeds we’d have done so.
• We keep residential developments small and in proportion to the surrounding villages. I’m yet to meet anyone who given the choice would choose to live in an estate of 1000 houses over one of about 20.
Shame on the district council for taking the lazy option at the sacrifice of our countryside. Aren’t there council elections soon? Does anyone know a candidate that’s fully opposed to this?
At both Full Council meetings of Kirklees Councillors, the Labour Party, the Lib Dems and the Independents voted to build an Industrial Estate on 42 hectares at the Three Nuns site near Cooper Bridge despite intense lobbying and representations made by Campaigners to save this green belt. As a Group we are non-political and not in a position to advise anyone who they should vote for. This decision is down to each voter to decide which candidate will have most influence once elected to keep our green belt safe.
Can you see the man from the council with a chainsaw awaiting to chop it down?
