GREENBELT RALLY

Saturday 24th April 2010
Coventry City Centre

The Rally was excellent –
a lot of people were on the march, and we attracted a good deal of attention through Broadgate.

Mike O’Brien, Geoffrey Robinson, Nobby Clarke, John Mutton, Andrew Burtenshaw and other prominent figures were there. Conspicuous by their absence were any Conservative members of Coventry City Council. Perhaps they were uncomfortable about defending the Core Stragey?

Question Time
 

Question time meeting 4th March 2010

Councillors fought a war of words and figures at the event where they were quizzed by Coventry residents over plans to develop large areas of Greenbelt within Coventry.

On the panel were local resident Dorothy Hall, the leader of Coventry City Council Ken Taylor (Conservative), opposition leader John Mutton (Labour), Councillor Russell Field (LIberal Democrat), and Mark Sullivan, a representative of CPRE. The meeting was chaired by Bob Brolly (BBC). Over 300 residents attended.

Members of the public asked about the controversial Eco town proposal that was reported at Christmas, residents queried how the sites for the core strategy had been selected for development across the city.

Members of the Green Alliance Group would like to thank residents for the donations totalling £250.63 that were collected on the evening.
