Campaign to stop development at Pincent's Hill
27 October 2008

Patrick Murray, the Lib Dems Parliamentary Spokesman in Reading West is offering his support to the campaign to stop development at Pincent's Hill.
Patrick said "The plans for development at Pincent's Hill are completely inappropriate. It's a beuatiful spot that's well loved by the local community. The developers also want to build on some recreation land as well. The combination of all the areas in the plan would deprive the local community of much needed open space. It's particularly poorly thought out given the West Berks District Council are one of the few councils in the entire South East to have had their housing numbers reduced."
"The extra pressure placed on local roads and schools is also very problematic. There are already difficulties and putting close to a thousand houses here doesn't help. The plans seem to provide little in the way of extra infrastructure for local people whilst fundamentally altering the rural appearance of the area. Of course we need more affordable housing for local families across the region but this development is neither in the right place nor the right way to go about it. We must guard this beautiful area from development."
