I don't know about you, but one of the reasons we moved to this area was for the rural aspect, the easy access to green spaces on our doorstep to exercise ourselves, then our children, and by the time our elder one was six, our family dog too.
Our green spaces are to be cherished, and new building should prioritise regeneration of brown field sites such as the Vauxhall plant in Luton, which has been an issue taking up column inches in the Luton press of late.
Everyone needs green space close to home. We often take it for granted, but natural places are crucial to our quality of life, whether it’s to get some fresh air, to walk the dog, to connect us with nature, or to meet friends.
Next weekend, I'll be attending the spring conference of the Liberal Democrats in Birmingham and look forward to building this view into a policy statement to safeguard our green spaces.
Is there a green space near you that may be at risk? Perhaps owned by the financially challenged Central Beds Council that may wish to sell it for development? If so, I'd like to hear from you.
