Take action against major housing planned for our area!

Are you concerned about the massive housing developments planned for our town? South Glos and developers are planning 3000 new houses for Brimsham Park, north of Yate, plus more at Peg Hill.

But it doesn't stop there. Elswick Park (the Sea Stores) is already being built. Then there's the Coopers factory site on Westerleigh Road and the housing planned to go along with Waitrose at Chipping Sodbury, and South Glos intends to sell off much of the Rodford School site for housing.

Just as worryingly, there are attempts by developers to put houses on sites that aren't even on South Glos's plans, such as Engine Common, with the possibility of more to come. Could Chipping Sodbury have some surprises in store?

Your Lib Dem Focus Team councillors are already fighting the massive developments. But we need YOUR help.

What can YOU do about it? Some simple steps:

• Sign our petition about the Brimsham Park development - click here tinyurl.com/stopbrimsham
• Come to Steve Webb's public meeting about all the housing developments on Tuesday 12 April at 7.30pm in Yate Parish Hall on Station Road
• Tell a friend or a neighbour about the petition and the meeting!
• If you're on Facebook, you can join the group Stop Brimsham Park Housing

Update 04/04/2011 - Barratt Homes, the developers for Peg Hill, have pointed out that it is within the boundary shown in South Glos's Core Strategy, so we've amended the wording above. In other news Heron Land Developments (the main developer for Brimsham Park) has objected to the Peg Hill development because it's not been coordinated with their big proposals.
