We Heart Hart Campaign Logo
The We Heart Hart petition is now really taking off, breaking through the 2,000 barrier over the weekend. This is approaching four times the number of valid responses to Hart Council’s consultation that took place in Autumn 2014 and more than 9 times the number of people (220) of said they favoured a new settlement.
It seems that the people of Hart are backing our 5-point plan for change and waking up to the reality that the Council’s plans will:
- Force Hart to build an extra 3,100 houses for Rushmoor and Surrey Heath
- Turn the northern part of Hart will turn into a single urban sprawl when there is an alternative of building higher density in urban areas to help rejuvenate our high streets
- Lead to more congestion and traffic all over the district, particularly in Fleet and Church Crookham
- Ignore many brownfield sites untouched all over the district where we could build housing
- Create intolerable pressure on our local services such as doctors, schools, roads, sewage, electricity and railways because their infrastructure plans are under-funded by at least £78m
- Destroy our environment and the very nature of Hart’s unique appeal – the reason we all love living here.
If you would like to join our campaign, please sign and share our petition:
Surely it is now time for Hart Council to think again, act on the legal opinion describing their position as “hopeless”, focus on brownfield first and listen to the people.
