The reported plans to build new houses on the green belt between Old Milverton and Kenilworth, with the accompanying roads and possible new school, shops and other facilities, fill me with dismay, and I would like to object most strongly.
This would result in the destruction of Old Milverton as it is now, and of much of the beautiful countryside that surrounds it. It goes completely against the ethos of the Green Belt, with its provision of a 'green lung' between cities. I am also most concerned about the possible destruction of our allotments, which provide an essential social and health-giving purpose for many of our local residents.
The plan would have a vastly detrimental effect on the quality of life of the whole area, and I firmy oppose it. I speak not just for myself, but for many local people, and all the allotment holders I have spoken to.
