Excerpt:
“I’ve come here today because local people are so shocked by what’s happening here,” said Baroness Jones. “Greens love allotments, I have an allotment myself, I see it as a place of peace and hard work obviously, but what’s happening here is not a peaceful set of allotments. It’s eco-devastation.
“There’s an 80-place car park, for example, and actually it’s an unlawful development because it has destroyed parts of a meadow and skylark nests and badger holes. It’s actually extremely nasty and I don’t understand why the company doing this is actually not listening to local people who say it’s not appropriate and they are actually destroying nature not helping it,” she added.
“For me I’m going to make a fuss about it on social media and also with people I meet, and I will look for opportunities because the company has exploited a sort of gap in legislation and I’m going to see in the House of Lords if there’s any opportunity to close that gap. It’s a long shot but I’m going to try,” she said.
Cllr Ho Marris said she supports the residents of Abbots Leigh. “As the Green Party ward councillor for this area I have supported residents from the beginning, asking that any development in our precious green belt is looked at carefully through a full planning application. We await the outcome of these retrospective planning applications,” she said.
