Despite the wind and the rain and the mud, we had a brilliant turn-out for the New Year's Day walk. Many thanks to everyone who braved the elements and showed their support. Photos here. Watch this space for the next action.

Save Keresley Green Belt

Pegasus Planning Group have plans to build 800 houses on the green belt in Keresley. The Parish Council is trying to stop this.

Please sign our petition opposing this.

The Joint SHMA, the assessment of housing needs for Coventry and Warwickshire, has now been published. This is it. It suggests 23,600 houses for Coventry up to 2031 - more than can be built on brown field sites alone.

Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting at the Hare and Hounds on 16 November.

You might be interested in this insight into how planning policy is being developed.

We currently have the support of

Hedgerow Magic

Local author Lucy David has kindly donated 10 copies of her novel 'Hedgerow Magic' to support our efforts. This is a novel for 10 to 13 year olds, set in a fictitious Keresley, about a pair of youngsters who struggle to come to terms with troublesome adults and save a wood from developers.

We have 2 copies left, at £7.99. Buy them from us fast. Get more copies from Kenilworth Books or lulu.com
