Our Chair - Jeff Gibson has devoted considerable time to scanning the GMSF documents currently available - he has drawn the current conclusions
I have reviewed
the GMSF map to determine if any of our 37
Allotment Sites are under treat from proposed Housing
Development 2014/2035.
It would have
been much easies if the GMSF Web site had their proposed developments indicated
with a Post Code but I suppose that would be too easy, However the following are
my observations.
