As reported in the Thurrock Gazette Friday 21 March 2008 “Director of Planning and Strategy, Peter Bassett, said: “We received 4,800 responses from our leafleting campaign. We have also received a petition from Save Corringham Green Belt of 2,841 signatures. The committee will spend time assessing the responses before issuing the Preferred Option”.

Oh, to be in England

Now that April’s there,

And whoever wakes in England

Sees, some morning, unaware,

That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf

Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,

While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough……

Are gone!

What’s that housing estate doing there?

If you don’t want this to happen you must write more letters. Written before? Write again, ask everyone you know- give the dog a biro. We need to apply as much pressure as we can to prevent this happening.

Write as a matter of URGENCY to Thurrock Thames Gateway Development Corporation as well as Angela Smith MP.

Don’t worry about writing a long letter – just stick to the facts that you don’t want any development on Corringham Green Belt.

Make your voice heard and pass on this message to everyone you know. And please keep asking new people to sign our on-line petition.

Get your views heard! Write to your local MP it’s not too late.

To make it simple for you we have included a sample letter that you can print, sign and pop in the post. Please click here to print the letter now. Alternatively click here now to send an e-mail to Angela Smith.

We cannot stress enough the importance of writing to or e-mailing your MP. The destruction of East Thurrock Green Belt is not a ‘done deal’. You can make a difference. Every personal letter, every personal e-mail will have a big impact.
