The village I live in, Harlington is quite a small village of around 1000 households and is quite close to the M1 motorway and a mainline train link into London. However, it is still pretty rural and has some stunning areas around it.
For quite some time now there has been discussion/debate regarding a proposed development of a new football stadium for Luton (which is around 8 miles away) Town Football Club, alongside new warehousing and distribution right next to our village (the boundaries of the development would be approximately 100 yards from my house). Recent activity regarding Luton Town FC having gone into administration and subsequently being bought out by a consortium has meant that the focus has moved away from the stadium and development, but things have still been going on in the background.
Yesterday a planning application was submitted for the development (details yet to be made available) and the campaign has stepped up a gear. There is a steering group and campaign network, our local version CaSH (Campaign for Sustainable Harlington) is headed up by Mike Benner who is doing a stirling job running the campaign alongside his day job as the Chief Executive of CaMRA (Campaign For Real Ale for those that don't know).
I am asking for anyone that feels they would like to sign the petition to visit the campaign website:
CaSH home page
and sign the online petition. We are delivering leaflets locally next week to help keep the message at the forefront of people's minds, everything we can do helps hopefully.
Thanks for reading.
