Do you remember the proposal to build a freight terminal on the old Handley Page airfield site at Park Street? Refused by the Council but approved on appeal by the Secretary of State, it was the largest planning application the district has ever seen – almost 500 football pitches, 3000 more lorries using congested local roads each day and 4000 workers going to work by car. Its impact on the whole of the City would be enormous.
Join us on 8th May to hear how a small action group has found a way to challenge this nightmare scenario and get your friends to come as well. This is a real David and Goliath story that will be decided in the High Court later this year. Theresa Smith and Nuala Webb will talk about the action group work and you can find out more at www.savestalbans.com
