Langley Valley Protest - Stevenage
Last Saturday three thousand people held a rally nr. Stevenage in the
latest battle to stop a new 10,000 house development.
The houses are due to be built by Persimmon Homes, the third largest
house builder in the country. If they get the green light it will be
the largest release of land for a new town in the UK since the end of
the 1950's, and will destroy the Langley Valley, which is set between
rolling chalk hills with ancient woodlands, hedgerows and green lanes.
Persimmon are clearly worried about the protests - on Wednesday they
moved its AGM from York to Edinburgh- and hired everybody's favourite
Brays Detective Agency as security! Tim Akeroyd of the Campaign Against
the Stevenage Expansion said "We know new housing is needed, but not
in the green belt. We must regenerate decaying cities instead."
