Nottingham Post: Rural Action in Action - Some Great News for Us!

Read Dan Russell's full article in today's Nottingham Post detailing Stapleford & Trowell Rural Action Group's (STRAG) successful campaign against Broxtowe Borough Council's plans to build on the Greenbelt land at Field Farm and Eric Pickles MP's response to 'call in' and review the decision.

As a direct result of Dan's initial article yesterday, a few interesting things have happened. We got in touch with the folk at STRAG and they have offered us some solid advice on how we can tackle Rushcliffe Borough Council's plans to build on our own Greenbelt in Radcliffe, and the Campaign to Protect Rural England have similarly offered technical expertise to assist us in our fight.

Three brown fields that once were green... thanks to William Davis Ltd.

And they don't have planning permission yet!

But the best conversation of the week was directly with Nottingham Post journalist, Dan Russell, via Twitter and the support being extended to small communities like ours who are facing widespread Greenbelt devastation.

Don't you just love it when the local press step up to represent community groups like ours.
We love Nottingham Post!

@RadCommunity @Rushcliffe thanks. The full story is in tomorrow. Also online in the morning

@RadCommunity not a problem. I know @EmilyWinsor is keen to do a story with you if you are hoping for a similar outcome?
