What do you think of the plans?
More than 700 people have backed a campaign to stop the future development of housing on “beautiful” greenbelt land in Stoke Bardolph. Gedling Borough Council has been drafting its part of the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan, which sets out potential housing development sites across Broxtowe, Gedling, Nottingham and Rushcliffe up until 2038.
The petition, on Change.org, says: “Stoke Bardolph village is a free open green space for all. Visitors come to walk, run, watch wildlife and enjoy the positive well-being provided by being in the countryside environment.“If the greenbelt protection is removed in Stoke Bardolph, where will it end? Will it just be the start of the erosion of all Nottinghamshire’s green belt land?”
Cllr Mike Adams, borough councillor for Trent Valley and county councillor for Carlton East, told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “The Labour party at Gedling Borough Council seem to have a dislike for green space, evidenced as they once again try to concrete over our beautiful countryside, for a few more pounds of council tax, to improve a bit more of Arnold for their core vote. It should be called Arnold Borough Council to reflect where the priorities are.
“It’s not right and it has to stop. We have to stop their carelessness with the green belt and green space again. They are too quick to give it away.
