“Your chance to stop the Buckton Fields development” Cllr Beardsworth

“Your chance to stop the Buckton Fields development” Cllr Beardsworth

Liberal Democrat Cllr Sally Beardsworth has put forwards a motion on 8^th December to Northamptonshire County Council to block the proposed development at Buckton Fields by asking the authority to refuse to sell the land. The Conservative-run County Council owns the majority of the land where the controversial development is proposed.

Cllr Beardsworth said “This is an opportunity for local people to block this development. I know local residents are really concerned about the development at Buckton Fields. Traffic in Kingsthorpe is already terrible. All the work at the Cock Hotel junction will be for nothing if 1050 new houses are built at Buckton Fields. Not only that but there is a real risk of increased flooding in Northampton.”

“The County Council owns large swathes of the land. If they refused to sell it then the development would not go ahead. You can make your voice heard by registering to speak at the Council meeting on 8^th December, starting at 10.30am. To do so please contact the Democracy Team at the County Council on 237560 by 12 noon on Tuesday 6^th December. If enough people speak then maybe the Conservative administration will listen and block the sale of the land.”
