Newcastle Lib Dems condemn Labour's threat to Gosforth Nature Reserve
The Labour administration at Newcastle Council is planning to build 21,000 homes on the city's Green Belt. One of the most worrying proposals would see 600 homes built right up against Gosforth Nature Reserve which forms the northern edge of the Ouseburn wildlife corridor. The development would wipe out some of the natural foraging area around the reserve. "This is yet another example of Labour's lack of commitment to the environment" said Gareth Kane, Lib Dem Spokesman for the Environment on the Council, "This is a terrible blunder and if it goes ahead, it cannot be undone. We call on Labour to withdraw the proposal immediately."
