... THIS is the grey belt!!!!
Virtually every town in this country has tonnes of space for housing. Right in the town centre! Completely wasted surface car park space. Grrrr

Really valuable points made by @roger_mortlock CEO of @CPRE.
We don't need to sacrifice the countryside to meet housing demand, rather a genuine commitment to reusing the many brownfield sites that exists. Well said!

@BBCPM @CarolineWyatt Allowing building on Green Belt too risky; will be abused by greedy builders who care nothing about nature.
Before destroying green spaces should utilise brownfield & empty houses, & ban second-homes, buy-for-Airbnb, etc
@TonyJuniper @KateNHF @roger_mortlock
Great to speak at this opening session on the state of nature @AnthropyUK about holistic approaches to land use and new ways to coexist with nature @CPRE

CPRE loves our Green Belts. They stop needless loss of farm land and wildlife habitat. They ensure millions of people in cities and towns have 'countryside on the doorstep'. Listen to Jackie at 12:00 mins in.
