We now have a government that wants to build on the green belt, and the Mayor of London has U-turned on his previous position about protecting the green belt. There was recently a motion tabled by the Conservatives at City Hall to oppose this U-turn and protect our green belt. Reform UK’s Assembly Member voted with Sadiq Khan’s Labour members to defeat the motion. I met with Assembly Member Thomas Turrell in St Mary Cray, at one of the green belt sites under threat from major development, and asked him to explain what happened.
