Great news from one of our staunch supporters, Bill Gifford, let's hope this follows through with the vote we all want on 16th June 2009

The Planning Officers at Warwick District Council have just published their report (3rd June) on the Core Strategy Preferred Options on where housing growth should go.  The good news is that the officers do not suggest that the Allotment land and the Green Belt land to the north of Milverton should be used.

The final decision will be made by councillors at the Council Meeting on Tuesday 16th June.  This report by the Planning Department will mean that it is much more likely that the decision will be not to build on the Allotments or the Green Belt to the north of Milverton.

I am sure that the strong opposition by Milverton residents, BLAST and the allotment holders to building on the Allotments and the Green Belt to the north of Milverton has been a major influence on the Planning Officers' report.  I am much more hopeful of a sensible outcome and that is really due to the work put in by everyone.
