                                                     Green Belt

Though often misapplied to refer to the countryside in general, the term "green belt" refers to only 13%  of rural land where development is restricted.

" Wake up! Conservative Bedfordshire Council " You're not listening"!


Central Bedfordshire Conservative Councillors " Wake up!

Barton Le Clay's  Site 16  is totally inappropriate and unjustified for accommodating Gypsies and Travellers.

There is no safe pedestrian access from the site to Barton Le Clay



This video was  filmed at 8:00 AM  about the time that  Central Bedfordshire Conservative Councillors will be asking  Gypsy mothers with small children to cross this A 6 Deathtrap  to walk  their children to school.





           

Listen to what the community is saying and ensure that their vital interests  are protected. 


The water table in Barton Le Clay is just a few feet below the surface. The reason the proposed site 16 floods is because of the heavy clay subsoil which provides an effective barrier to natural drainage. Site 16 would be unhealthy, and totally unsuitable for families.






 Do Conservatives Hate Gypsies ?


What other explanation could there be except perhaps incompetence?
Or dishonesty?
Barton Le Clay residences want to ask Conservative Councillors why they picked such an unsuitable location for a gypsy and traveler site and why they this location was not immediately rejected for being unsuitable.


or Do Conservative Councillors Hate Barton Le Clay Residents ?



The only plausible reasons that the Conservative Central Bedfordshire Council could have for selecting Site 16 Faldo Road Barton Le Clay as a location for a Gypsy and Traveller site 2 Gypsy camp sites less than a mile apart......
........unless it is their total incompetence in selecting such an unsuitable site,
or is it because as one of the Executive Conservative Councillors has  stated publicly that Barton was being singled out because it did not vote Conservative.....or could it be for some other hidden motive?

Bedfordshire Council Green Belt Sham



Honest people do 3 things
Refuse to make misleading statements
Do not withhold important information
Communicate facts truthfully
The definition of Sham is to falsely present as the truth” i.e. fake, pretense, fraud
There is no better example of a SHAM than what Conservative politicians are doing to the green belt through their local Councillors.
England’s green belt covers over 6,000 square miles of countryside, which is wrapped around towns and cities to prevent urban sprawl.
On October 12th last year Communities Secretary Eric Pickles pledged
“The green belt will be protected, and the Conservatives will do all they can to preserve the character of the countryside”,Mr Pickles made clear that ministers will not allow weakening in green belt protections.
 Protecting the character of the countryside is stamped deep into the heart of Conservatism."
“And let me tell you – the green belt plays a vital role in stopping urban sprawl and we will protect it.”
Based on the actions of Conservative councillars that control local government this was a lie.
There are examples occurring all over the country where unscrupulous Conservative local councillars are betraying the communities that they are meant to protect.
A good example is what  Central Bedfordshire Local Councillors are doing to the residents of Barton Le Clay by changing their green belt area to accommodate a Gypsy sites.
The 5000 residents of Barton Le Clay want to ask Nigel Young Conservative Councillor from Dunstable and the other 20 Conservative Councillors responsible altering their green belt.  Why?
Does the fact that you all live an average of 12 miles from Barton have anything to do with  your decision?
Each of you would have to drive on average over 25 minutes, with many of living up to 18 miles from Barton, so it doesn’t personally affect.

95% of the sites selected were not areas even close to where you all live.

Facts of Life Delivered to Barton Le Clay Residents by Nadine Dorries MP




Over 300 concerned residents gathered in St Nicholas Church hall on March 7th to discuss Central Bedfordshire Councils decision to redraw the boundaries of Green Belt surrounding the village.

MP Nadine Dorries tells Barton Le Clay residents the facts of life about how this Conservative governments faulty thinking and policies are pitting one local community against another.
 Nadine unfortunately,she was unable to stay for the entire meeting  because if she did she would have learned how local Conservative Councillors led by Nigel Young have let the people in central Bedfordshire, the Conservative party and themselves down.
