Mr Andrew Mitchell (Sutton Coldfield) (Con)

- Hansard - - Excerpts

I have the honour to present a petition, signed by 11,489 residents of the royal town of Sutton Coldfield, against the proposals of Labour-controlled Birmingham City Council to build 6,000 homes across our green belt.

The petition states:

The Humble Petition of citizens of the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield,

Sheweth,

That the proposal to build 6,000 homes on the Green Belt that surrounds the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield should not proceed while accepting that significant new housing should be built in more appropriate places.

Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your Honourable House considers this proposal and lays it aside.

And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
