MADAM – Very sad news to hear that the development of 150 houses will go ahead at Mankley Field, Leonard Stanley.
We would like to thank everyone who worked so hard and tirelessly on the village’s behalf, particularly Diane Odell, the action committee, local councillors etc.
It is difficult to understand why this should have been approved and it appears mainly due to Stroud District Council not having its five-year plan in place.
This current government may wish that its policy of approving building on greenbelt areas, changing villages beyond recognition etc had not come into force when people vote in the general election next year.
Chris and Denys Phillips
