'Help us protect green belt'
PEOPLE in Hanham and Longwell Green are being urged to join a campaign group to help fend off development on green space in the area.
About 116 households are members of Hanham District Green Belt Conservation Society, an active group fighting against plans to build on protected spaces.
They say they would like to increase their membership - which costs just £5 per household per year - in order to give them greater power to campaign and lobby against proposals which would see much of the green belt in the area obliterated.
The call comes as the society awaits news on controversial plans to build 96 homes on Hanham Cricket Club and another 105 houses on green belt land further along Abbots Road.
Chairman Alan Jones said the pressure to build so many new homes made this a challenging time for the organisation.
