Packed meeting in Bolsover last night as part of the campaign to stop Bolsover Council from builidng 800 to 2,000 houses on green-land to the North of the town.
Government guidance tells Councils to build on brownfield land and God knows there's enough abandoned insutrial sites in Boslover District so why dig up good quality arable land?........could the answer having something to do with the money that the Council gets from the Government if it builds more homes?
I know that remediating the Coalite site and other such as the Whitwell pit site won't be cheap but it's got to be done some time - so lets get on with it...... we certainly won't help the problem by building on green land.
Inspirational talk at the meeting from Julie who took on the County Council and got their plans for an incinerator rejected - so it just shows what people power can do!
