Hands Off Our Green Belt - A South Oxfordshire District Council campaign

I assure the House that we will continue robustly to protect the land designated as green belt. - Gordon Brown July 2007 "We'll hold you to that!"

Local authorities should continue to contain urban sprawl, assist urban regeneration and protect important green space. - Ruth Kelly MP, Moving Towards the Planning White Paper speech, 29 January 2007

Green Belts are meant to permanently stop sprawl and protect the countryside next to larger towns and cities - Paul Miner, CPRE campaigner

We will continue to campaign to protect the Green Belt. This is a poor proposal in the wrong place that will harm not just Oxford but the economy of the county as a whole. - Angie Paterson, South Oxfordshire District Council Cabinet member for planning
