Campaigning to protect Chessington

Caroline Pidgeon AM and Stephen Knight AM joined Lib Dem councillors and campaigners in Kingston to protest at plans to build 70,000 new homes in Chessington on Green Belt land.

The plan is proposed in a report by Business Group London First and the Conservative Mayor of London's Housing Deputy Mayor is reported to support their recommendations.

"There are plenty of Brownfield sites such as the Tesco owned one in Tolworth where new homes could be built but our green belt must be protected" commented Caroline.
