Grenoside residents demonstrate against green belt housing plans at Sheffield Town Hall.

Transcript

00:00My name is Cheryl Hall and I'm a resident of Wheel Lane at Grenerside.

00:04I'm here today because I feel so very, very strongly about the area in which I live, which is a lovely area.

00:11If the Green Belt is actually built on, surrounding Grenerside and Ecclesfield,

00:17the enormity of it, the visibility of it, it's so great, it's going to have a massive physical impact.

00:24They've given very little time for us as locals to actually respond with questions,

00:30in fact they'd like us not to ask as many questions, they'd like not to hear our questions.

00:34So no, I think there are lots of options available and I think they've just dismissed them.

00:39Feeling locally has just taken us by such storm.

00:46We feel that there's something really unjustified at the base of this

00:50and there is a lot that is unknown and that we're not allowed to know,

00:55that they're trying to keep from us.

00:56and we absolutely believe that this could go that way.

01:01Trees issue stemmed from a very unjust start where the public were not invited for comment,

01:11there were no discussions, their rights were taken from them

01:16and in that respect, that's how we feel.

01:20I hope councillors will all reflect on what they're hearing

01:25and I hope that they'll put principle and integrity above political will.

01:30It's available for every meeting there is, both at the council and public meetings within the area.

01:37I will make statements, I will step up, I'll make sure that there's no one within our area

01:41that doesn't understand exactly what the impact of this would be.
