Dear Mr Gove
We do not consent to the development of our green belt!
In a recent interview, you told the BBC Sunday’s Laura Kuenssberg that although Richi Sunak’s Government still intends to hit the promise made by the Tories in their 2019 manifesto of 300,000 new homes a year, “What we critically need to do is to make sure that we have local communities consenting to development”.
I’d like to let you know that the people of Maidenhead do not consent to the development of over 200 acres of our green belt, set out in the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead’s Borough Local Plan. Campaigners against this damage to our local environment have staged four protests outside the town hall, three protests on Maidenhead Golf Course, launched a legal challenge of the Borough Local Plan backed by over 550 local people, and a petition asking to save Maidenhead Golf Course from development was signed by nearly 4,500 local people.
Maidenhead Town Centre and Bray are already Air Quality Management Areas, we don’t have the necessary infrastructure, our water supply is severely stressed, we regularly have sewage going into our rivers, our biodiversity is in crisis and our local health services are over-stretched.
Maidenhead says no!
Yours sincerely
