PRESENTED PETITION

Petition presented to the House but not read on the Floor

Green Belt (Somerset)

The Petition of residents of the Woodspring constituency and others,


2 July 2009 : Column 2P

Declares that the Government’s Regional Spatial Strategy proposes over 10,000 new homes on Green Belt land surrounding Long Ashton; and further declares that there are feasible options to accommodate necessary new housing without sacrificing the Green Belt.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to withdraw the proposed South West Regional Spatial Strategy and make a renewed commitment to the retention of the Green Belt.

And the Petitioners remain, etc. —[Presented by Dr. Liam Fox .][P000388]
