Mims Davies MP organises meeting with local campaign group against further development in Wivelsfield.
A housing developer wants to build 150 homes on land south of Green Road in Wivelsfield Green, where are already 141 being built and where infrastructure isn't in place. Such as the primary school being oversubscribed, GPs at capacity and traffic up a huge amount making it even more difficult for residents to get around.
However, the Labour government and Labour MP, Helena Dollimore, are committed to building 1.5 million homes.
Mims became the MP for Wivelsfield in the most recent election which became part of her East Grinstead, Uckfield and the villages seat and has already had an open, free meeting with residents in Wivelsfield back in September so residents could join her and raise concerns for their area.
Mims is committed to protecting our precious green spaces and looks forward to working with the community.
Mims Davies MP said:
I’m eagerly involved with what is happening in Wivelsfield with regards to planning.
I know this is a large concern to residents of Wivelsfield and beyond and whilst I can't attend the meeting tomorrow, I have reached out to the No To Wivelstown team to organise a meeting to discuss the matter.
We must protect our green spaces and beautiful countryside from unwarranted development and bulldozing.
I will continue to fight to protect our green spaces with new homes in the right places, with appropriate infrastructure in place.
I look forward to hearing from them and working together on this moving forward.
