Your views on Beaconsfield's Green Belt

jackson green fields

As a local Conservative Councillor in Beaconsfield, I have always been so passionate about our green space and the precious Green Belt which surrounds and protects our Town. However we are under massive pressure from developers, and the national Labour Government, who are imposing thousands of houses upon us, as well as diluting the historic protections of green spaces. 

I would love your views on this important topic as we continue to challenge developers to ensure the character of our town is protected.

Out of 10 - how important is preserving the Green Belt in Beaconsfield for you?
Not important at all
Extremely important

The Green Belt is a specially designated  area of open land around a town, including in Beaconsfield, where development has historically been restricted to prevent urban sprawl and maintain our green spaces. How important is this area to you? 

 
Do you agree with us that development should be prioritised in used brownfield sites - and not pristine Green Belt spaces?
I agree that new developments should focus on brown field sites. A brownfield site is defined as any land that has previously been built on.
I am unsure on my position on this.
I think its fine building on the Green Belt
Here are some other issues that might impact you. Out of 10 - how important is keeping Council Tax down for you?

Extremely important
Keeping our Council efficient is important to keep Council Tax down. We've implemented efficiencies, cut the pay of councillors and reduced the number of councillors by a third.  In the nearby Lib Dem Council, they tried to increased Council Tax by a whopping 25%!

We want to focus on working closely with Thames Valley police to ensure our area remains safe. This also includes investing in more CCTV. 
Out of 10 - how important is fixing our local roads to you?

We are investing more funding to improve our local roads, including filling in our potholes. This includes £120m more in funding for Buckinghamshire and cleaning every drain, annually, to reduce flooding risk.
