WE MUST PROTECT ALL GREEN SPACES - LORLEY BURT MP

August 18, 2006 2:35 PM

Responding to news that the Conservatives are launching a new national campaign to protect England's gardens, Lorely Burt, Member of Parliament for Solihull has said:

"If only Tory reality lived up to their rhetoric. In Solihull the Conservative council has been busily selling off parkland and open spaces. Protecting our gardens is very important but it isn't enough. We need to ensure that parks, open spaces and recreation areas are only sold off with the consent of a majority of local people. All of these have a role in providing a green lung for our towns and cities. That's why I introduced a Private Member's Bill in July 2005, to preserve our parks, open spaces and gardens".

The Local Government and Planning (Parkland and Windfall Development) Bill was introduced by Lorely in July 2005 and will receive its second reading on the 20th October 2006.

    If you are a resident of the Solihull constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
