Will invited Kris Hopkins (Housing minister) to the Southern Cross Pub on Dixons bank to listen to residents' concerns about the amount of building taking place on Green Field Sites around our area.
Kris said "It is clear that both Councils, Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland, have failed to put together a 5 year plan, which would have allowed local people a strong say on where new buildings are allowed to be built."
Will Goodhand said "Instead of building on any green space in sight, the Councils ought to be focussing on brown field sites, such as the excellent new development in Guisborough, which is porividng affordable housing to local people and is built on a snesible green field site."
