At the begining of last summer, local folks organised to protest against the proposed Sharphill housing development on fields south of West Bridgford. They won. [Well done guys].
After concerted action and the maintanance of a camp there, Rushcliffe Council finally voted against the plan to build 1600 homes on green belt land.
We feel the Greenbelt is worthy of protection. We hope you agree.
