OUR “green and pleasant land” is our heritage. The 2,500 new homes on green-belt land proposal is an attack on our local life.

Until all brown-field sites have been exhausted, all other demands on our open spaces must be dismissed.

The council leaders have a duty to protect the city. Where are our normally vocal Greens when their zeal is really needed?
