Dear Supporters,
(PLEASE SHARE) Wirral Green Space Alliance has been working tirelessly to help save Wirral’s Green Belt. We need YOU to do your bit and spend some time this weekend doing the following 4 things.
1. The MOST URGENT thing …..JUST ONE WEEK TO GO until the Government’s Consultation closes – HAVE YOU RESPONDED TO THE CONSULTATION YET? WE NEED YOUR HELP! (PLEASE SHARE!) We need AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE to respond to the Government's Consultation on the Housing and Planning reforms. The Government's proposals will put WIRRAL’S GREENBELT AT GREAT RISK and require Wirral Borough to build 28,000 houses which would see a 20% INCREASE IN THE BOROUGH’S POPULATION(an extra 60,000+ people)
Wirral Green Space Alliance have produced a Easy Guidance Note on how to respond to the Consultation. The easiest way is to email your response – it should only take 10 minutes or so.
The guidance note can be found on the ITPAS (Irby Thingwall Pensby Amenity Society) website by clicking this link:
then click on the blue text which says "CLICK HERE FOR FOR ADVICE AND SAMPLE TEXT ON MAKING RESPONSES TO THE CONSULTATION DOCUMENT"
The closing date is next Tuesday 24th September.
ITPAS (in conjunction with the Wirral Green Space Alliance) has been working incredibly hard over the last few months to produce a detailed technical response to the Consultation. This has taken many hours of our time and has all but taken over the lives of numerous volunteers working tirelessly to protect Wirral’s Green Belt – so please do your bit this weekend and help by taking 10 or 20 minutes to email your response to the Government. We need as many people as possible to follow our guidance note and send in a response. You can be sure that the Developers will have teams of people doing the same!
The ITPAS / WGSA response to the Government can be found via the home page of ITPAS:

3. Write to your MP and ask him what they think about the Government’s proposals to require Wirral to build 28000 houses, which will increase Wirral’s population by 60,000 – a 20% increase putting our precious Green Belt at great risk.
