After a battle to stop the government from selling up our forests, they are now proposing that our greenfields and countryside are used to create more housing stock. It feels like madeness, there are plenty of brown field sites available for building on and there are plenty of houses for sale that are unsold because people can't get mortgages. Taking away our green spaces for houses that are built on projections that aren't necessarily correct and that can be built elsewhere seems a crime.
38 degrees have set up a petition http://www.38degrees.org.uk/page/s/save-our-countryside to try and stop this.
Its not often that I use the blog as a soap box but this is really important to me. All of the things that are important to me; running, walking, wildlife, scenery, inspiration, a place to feel uplifted and calm and just being away from urban life could all be removed in the next 10 years.
Please click on the link above and sign the petition and forward it on widely.
Thank you
Jackie
