Sharphill woods in west Bridgford Nottingham is scheduled for 1200 houses to be built on the land around them, thanks to the local conservative council, who plan to make a packet out of the deal as does the land owner Mr Wells.

Today locals showed their opposition by holding hands across the hill as a symbolic show of opposition to the plans. despite the rain several hundred people turned out to show their opposition.

Normally I am unconvinced that letter writing and petitions makes much of a difference but on this occasion I think it will so log onto the website where there is an easy way to email all the councillors  http://www.savesharphill.co.uk/

Or write a letter to them c/o Rushcliffe Borough Council Civic Centre, Pavilion Road, West Bridgford Nottingham NG2 5FE, or to their home addresses which can be found at  http://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/electedRep_results.asp?cat=1572
