Stop urban sprawl

The campaign "Don't Choke Chelmsford" is gathering momentum, as more and more people learn about Conservative plans for over-development in Chelmsford town centre as well as green field building. Our roads are already too crowded; there aren't enough reliable bus services; the cycle network is still incomplete.

The latest element of this is when people learn that the council wants to sell off half of the Riverside leisure centre site for 400 (yes four hundred) flats and spend the money on a reduced number of new facilities. People queued up to sign the Lib Dem petition on Saturday. See also more about the campaign to Stop urban sprawl.
