Further to my recent blog outlining my objection to the development of Redhill Aerodrome, I think it is important for me to expand on my reasoning

The National Audit Office has published a report on the Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern rail franchise today which finds that, between September 2014 and September 2017, passengers on the franchise have experienced the worst service performance on the national rail network.

I share the concerns voiced by many of my constituents about proposals to develop Redhill Aerodrome into a ‘garden village’ containing 6-7,000 new homes. Not only would such a large scale development have serious implications for local transport and infrastructure, but it would wholly compromise the very purpose of London’s Green Belt.
