Today, Rachel Reeves announced Labour’s changes to planning and housing - and name-checked a proposed site at Worcestershire Parkway within my Droitwich and Evesham constituency. During the election campaign I expressed grave concerns about Labour's instincts to make top-down decisions that impact the countryside from offices in Whitehall. The local voice should not be ignored. While we all know we need more housing, it has to be in the right place, on the right scale and with appropriate supporting infrastructure. Let's also be clear we are talking about building on fields, not previously developed land or brownfield sites here, too. I shall be seeking further information and assurances from Labour ministers in the coming weeks and would welcome views from local residents who can contact me at nigel.huddleston.mp@parliament.uk
