Question:

Do you agree with the Government's recent decision to build thousands of new homes on Green Belt land in St Albans District?

Our Opinion:

Liberal Democrat Parliamentary spokesperson Sandy Walkington has condemned the Government's decision to ignore local representations and blow apart the Green Belt around St Albans. The final version of the Government's 'East of England Regional Spatial Strategy' will see a further 5370 houses for St Albans by 2021. But the real damage comes from the planned increases for Hatfield and Hemel - a combined total of 22,000 houses, which are all additional to the St Albans target and could potentially be built in the St Albans District Council area. Sandy said: "The Prime Minister has not listened. Thousands of local residents signed the Hands Off Herts e-petition and paper petitions too. The Government has waited until after the local elections to announce a massive building plan most of which will take place on our green belt land."
