Petition to protect our Green Spaces: Designate Majors Fold as the Green Belt
I have been spearheading a campaign since last year with the help of your Gornal Councillor Bryn Challenor to stop the proposed development and we were very successful last year when Dudley Council refused planning permission. However, developers have now appealed this decision to the planning inspectorate in Bristol; there was always a risk that they would lodge an appeal.
As you may know, the land at Majors Fold is not Green Belt, it is Green Field which does not protect it from developers as much.
Council Leader Cllr Patrick Harley is a supporter of our green spaces. I met with him on Friday 19th April and this was the first item to discuss. I have now written a letter to the Leader asking him to investigate whether the land at Majors Fold could be designated as Green Belt - which it once was, many years ago. This would enhance protection significantly.
I am now kindly requesting you to sign the petition below to show your support.
