NEWS: Radical Regeneration Manifesto October 18, 2019
“Radical Regeneration Manifesto” to take Politics and People out of Planning
Bidwells (property consultants), Perkins and Will (global architects) and Blackstock (strategic consultancy) say they have brought together 25 “built environment industry leaders with assets totalling over £50 billion, and have this week launched their “Radical Regeneration Manifesto”.
Here are both YouTube videos. The first showing the scary ambition, the second showing this week’s launch.
They say they want to “think big about UK regeneration” but as we’ve reported before, this includes wanting faster, less political, less bureaucratic planning processes with less chance of community involvement and say.
What happened to our District Councillors telling us not to worry, as they control development? It is clear that’s now what big business wants.
It seems it’s all about making big money, fast!
Angry? Frustrated? Join our campaign now! We’re stronger together.
We urgently need your help.
Your donations are needed now, to help us run the campaign and pay for political consultants and other professional experts to bring this campaign to the attention of Westminster as well as local politicians.
No Expressway Group believes there is no need for an Oxford-Cambridge Expressway, nor the over-inflated housing targets associated with it, and we will actively campaign against it and support other organisations with the same objectives.
Our environment is a national asset which is critical for everyone’s health and well-being. We must not let it be destroyed.
Your donations help us to spread information about the Expressway, run and build support for the campaign:
£10 could pay for one roadside Correx poster
£15 could pay for one roadside poster on a wooden stake
£20 could pay for one A1 printed colour poster for our pagoda display
£35 could pay for 250 A5 printed leaflets for the campaign
£70 could pay for one pole and two panels for our travelling pagoda display
£150 could pay for one feather flag for our travelling pagoda
£180 could pay to run this website for one year
£300 could pay for a 3 minutes of an Expressway Story
£500 could pay for a 5 minutes of an Expressway Story
A greater or other amount could contribute to the cost of professional support for our campaign in general and in preparation for Planning Inspectorate hearings
Please note:
The No Expressway Group has a group bank account to which the Chair, Secretary and Treasurer are signatories. The group will publish accounts on noexpressway.org each year which will be audited by an accountant from outside the NEG group.
If any funds are left at the end of the campaign, these will be donated equally between RSPB and BBOWT.
