A Westminster Hall debate on 14th July saw housing Minister Chris Pincher responding to a number of local MPs across the Ox-Cam Arc expressing their concerns at the high growth targets for their communities as a result of Arc plans. David Rogers for the Stop the Arc Group welcomes the fact that MPs are finally taking notice of the threat of over-development in many essentially rural constituencies. The recent Amersham & Chesham by-election result is a wake-up call to all those who imagine local communities are happy with Whitehall plans for growth.
