Save Windsor & Maidenhead's Green Belt
Windsor Lib Dem Spokesman Julian Tisi inspects the threatened Green Belt around Windsor
Having stood in the 2007 elections on a platform of defending Windsor & Maidenhead's Green belt the local Conservative Council has completed a complete U-Turn and is now conducting a "Green Belt Review" that will see areas of the Green Belt around Windsor, Maidenhead and in particular Cookham compromised.
Much of the process so far has been conducted behind closed doors within the Council's confidential (some would say secret) "Part II" procedures.

The Conservatives claim that the Government has ordered them to do this, however answers given by Ministers in Parliament make it clear that this is not true.
Infact the Council has been required to come up with a new planning strategy, after independent inspectors concluded that the Conservative Strategy wouldn't work. The Lib Dems are calling on Windsor & Maidenhead's Conservative Council to curb intrusion into the Green Belt and find other solutions instead.
