Redditch to provide more houses

Under the report produced this week by the Government office for the West Midlands Redditch is going to have to provide another 7000 new homes.

Karen Lumley the Tories Parliamentary spokesman today has warned that if Redditch were to build the required number of houses without using green belt we could see Redditch turned into a concrete jungle.

Karen said,

“I am extremely concerned about the latest report from the Government Office from the West Midlands concerning the Regional Spatial Strategy and the fact that Redditch is going to be expected to provide thousands of extra homes.

To provide this number of dwellings without using green belt will turn Redditch into a concrete jungle.

A Conservative government is committed to abolishing this strategy and recognise that these plans are utterly undemocratic and environmentally unsustainable. We would scrap this whole tier of regional planning and give power back to local communities where they belong.”
