Wigan Council have submitted proposals to allow the building of up to 1,280 new homes on Green Belt land in Leigh: 730 homes North-east of Bedford and 550 East of Hooten Gardens.
We, the undersigned totally reject the Wigan Council proposals to build on Green Belt land in Leigh as it will:
1) Lead to further loss of our precious Green Belt, which will have an adverse impact on wildlife and habitats,
2) Cause urban sprawl, resulting in a loss of local identity,
3) Cause an increase in the number of cars, adding to existing traffic and congestion.
We urge Wigan Council to remove Green Belt land at Leigh as an option for addressing the shortfall of housing land.
Petition organised by Leigh Green Belt Protection Campaign.
