We had an excellent rally in Morley last Saturday when hundreds of local residents came together to raise their objection to Labours LDF Plan. Regular readers will know we have opposed Labours Plans for an additional 7,200 new homes across the Morley area because the infrastructure - such as schools, roads and health centres - can't cope with this level of over development.
Speaker after speaker spoke out against Labours outrageous LDF plan which will brings thousands of Executive Style Houses with little if any affordable homes for those on Morley's Housing Waiting List. Indeed Labour Leeds reduced the targets for affordable homes form 25% down to 15% - despite opposition from me - to make sure Developers maximised their profits from Morley Greenfield sites.
The rally called on Morley Folk to attend the Hearing next Friday 11th October at 930am at the Civic Hall in Leeds where Morley gets its own session with the Planning Inspector on Labours LDF plan. Indeed Morley is the only community that's gets its own session and this is due to the overwhelming and unified opposition of local residents.
The only person still peddling the Labour line on this is Labours Cllr Neil Dawson who - despite the views of the people he represents - continues to back the Party Line. His loyalty - as ever - remains with the Labour Party and not Morley People.
Even Labour MP Ed Balls confirmed on Saturday after the rally that he supports our campaign - in his words he's "right behind us". As to how true that is - when you note that no objection has been lodged by either Ed nor any of his Labour acolytes - is difficult to say. Perhaps he will turn up Friday to support us - you never know.
I am urging everyone who backs our campaign to get down to the Civic next Friday. We are in the Council Chamber there which holds over 150 people. Let's make sure all those seats are full and we send the Planning Inspector a clear message - Labours LDF is not welcome in Morley!
