Birmingham’s Labour Council has announced a new policy to start building on parks in the city. Labour plan to take 8 acres EVERY YEAR from our city’s parks and use it for house building. So far they have not named which parts of which parks will be the first to go under the bulldozer.
Edgbaston Conservative Councillor Deirdre Alden said, “Labour say the eight acres taken each year will come from under used land on the edge of parks, but nevertheless it will reduce the amount of land available for leisure activities just at the very time that new house building means the city’s population is growing. “
Labour’s plan to build on 8 acres of park land a year is ON TOP of their already announced plan to build on the green belt at the edge of the city.
Green belt and park land – all under threat from Labour!
