As a voter and tax payer, I am greatly disappointed in this proposal to remove land from the Greenbelt. And the solution to replace land in the greenbelt which are already protected is misleading and cynical at best.

What is the point of having a green belt if land can be redesignated based on political will and commercial gain?

I cannot support this government in this decision. It is the wrong thing to do, and urban sprawl and building upon prime farmland is a theft from future generations. We should be protecting the greenbelt we have, surely the land was chosen for a reason in the first place?

We need to be more creative in finding housing solutions within the defined urban landscape.
