This came to me via The Crossoak Conservation Society:

I hope you can help. The campaign group, STOP Harlow North, is trying to prevent a massive expansion of Harlow (at least 10,000 houses) into the Green Belt as part of the East of England Plan proposed by the East of England Regional Assembly. The group has the support of all the parish councils, district and county councils affected and their MP but this plan is out for public consultation until March 16th. They need a massive response from the public against these proposals - no matter where they live. Would you be able to support the campaign and get all your friends to do so? If so with a few clicks you can send a response to the Assembly using our automated form. Every adult and child can respond separately if you want. http://www.stopharlownorth.com/response_form.htm The campaign believes: Green Belt and green fields should be protected In a better Harlow not a bigger Harlow The population growth forecasts are excessive and unrealistic The job predictions are unrealistic The Plan is environmentally unsound The traffic is already congested This is driest part of Britain and water is scarce No extra funding for schools and hospitals has been earmarked to date This is their homepage. Stop Harlow North Please tell all your friends.
