That’s right @kevin_whitmore - Our groups are looking forward to 2020 with interest. Who knows best what an area needs than the people who live there?? If only the powers that be had listened earlier #GMSF #Community1st #NotDeveloperLed

Very serious issue because so much housing being placed in remote locations where buses are the only possible form of public transport.

This event looks interesting. It is not GM wide. Aimed at those in the development industry. Ticket are £180 (ouch). Would love to be a fly on the wall to this ‘critical theme’ “Is politics too involved with planning?” Our thoughts....

Dear councils, please create more allotments! 90,000 people are on UK waiting lists, some likely to wait 40 years. That's huge potential benefits for health, wellbeing, communities, wildlife and biodiversity, and for producing healthy fresh food without packaging and food miles!

@JeanieFM @GMSpatialFrame Boroughs close to you are in the same boat. Rochdale, Salford and Bury. Not many areas across GM have escaped the plan. We will be meeting with @AndyBurnhamGM & groups across the @greatermcr region to discuss the consultation. DM @OurRoyton who will be representing your area.

Queensferry Rd & St John's Rd are 2 & 3 worst for nitrogen dioxide pollution in Scotland & Queensferry Rd for particulates yet @ScotGovPlanning & @planningedin want thousands of new homes here #savecammofields #barntongridlock. Think again.

Local authorities with Green Belt land have enough brownfield land for 720,000 homes – yet our Green Belt is being lost at its fastest rate ever. There are viable alternatives to meeting housing need – let’s use them. #StateoftheGreenBelt RT if you agree. https://t.co/D6ClJls7G6

'Developers are carving up our countryside to build homes normal families can’t even afford – and the Government is letting them get away with it.'

Good take on our report that shows building on Green Belt is not solving housing affordability crisis https://t.co/xzS3nNoSvQ

[LondonGreenBeltCouncil @LondonGreenBelt]

Building thousands of houses in #ourgreenbelt does NOTHING to improve affordability or meet genuine local housing need. It does, however, generate more profits for the big developers. Green Belt countryside, once built on, is lost forever. #NeedNotGreed @cpre @cpresurrey

[The Greenbelt Guard @GreenbeltGuard]

@robertabwMP yet our mostly#Labour led Northern local authorities are held to blame. What will Labour’s Planning Policy Commission do to address this injustice..?

Well we already knew that - better late than never the mass media cotton on..! #reformNPPF #ChangeIsComing from #Labour because - Tories sure don’t care

Affordable homes on green belt 'a lie', say campaigners https://t.co/N9zN7OQ1RW

Great news that the Secretary of State @mhclg is calling in the decision made by @boltoncouncil regarding @HeartHulton. Time now for a public enquiry 👍👍 So proud of all the @HeartHulton team - well done from all @SGMG2017 groups - https://t.co/EGPOMeGIYS
