Stop the the former Broke Hill Golf Course Halstead being given up for housing.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

The site of the former golf course at Broke Hill is situated within the green belt. This site maybe at the extreme edge of Sevenoaks council control geographically but this is no excuse. The green belt exists for a reason. A massive housing development there is unacceptable. Sevenoaks please say no.
Here is further background on the story.

Once this site has gone it will change the area forever. There is no infrastructure in the area to cope with these potential plans.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
