Bradford-on-Avon residents fight housing plan for golf course
Duncan Hames, prospective Lib Dem MP for Bradford-on-Avon, is working with local residents to fight plans for 200 houses on a golf course in the town.
The owners and developers of the site have applied for permission to build an access road from Greenland View and Mythern Meadow.
Local residents living near the site have collected hundreds of petition signatures, and the Liberal Democrat Town Council, have listened to the concerns and opposed plans for any development on the site. The decision now rests with West Wilts District Council.
Duncan Hames commented on the plans, “I am backing local residents all the way. This site is not allocated for housing in the local plan, and should not be built on.
“It is a valuable recreation space for people in the town, local roads are not suited to the increased traffic from more houses.
“How could the district council approve even more building in Bradford, when nothing has been done to tackle air pollution in the town?”
Duncan Hames spoke at the public meeting in July and is helping local people mount their campaigns.
