Saltford Environment Group

Saltford Environment Group SEG is a community group seeking to help protect Saltford's natural environment, esp. the Green Belt. We use our page as a Notice Board.

Purpose and policy

The purpose of SEG, as set out in our constitution, is to:

raise awareness of environmental issues in Saltford;
encourage activities that make Saltford a more sustainable community;
foster links with other similar organisations;
involve as many sections of the community as possible; and
liaise with local government and councils to lobby for environmental issues. More information about SEG and most of the news stories we publish here can be found on our website.

This petition calls on the Government to pause housing targets & for a bottom up calculation of true local need by local people

We ask the government to pause housebuilding targets and consult local communities to identify where substantial house building is needed, not where developers prefer to build. We worry about developers appealing rejected applications and councils and communities often having no funds for a defence.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEKEND: The only housing shortage is for affordable homes & these should be built where the jobs are, on city/town brownfield sites. Building on green field sites in the Green Belt is short-sighted economic madness.
