Last year, thousands of people signed my petition calling on Cllr Cliff Morris to use his power to veto plans to build thousands of houses at Chequerbent and Hulton Park. Despite this, Labour still went ahead and gave the green light for these plans to go through - along with thousands more houses around Bolton West and Atherton.
Our roads, schools, health services and public transport are already creaking under the strain of too many houses as it is - with thousands more people in these new family homes and thousands of extra cars on the road we just wouldn't be able to cope.
Enough is enough. If I am re-elected, I will continue my campaign calling on Bolton and Wigan Labour to re-think their plan to build over our green spaces.
