I want to help communities in North West Leicestershire that are being blighted by travellers buying up parcels of land and developing them without official approval.  I believe we should give power back to local communities, and ensure that planning controls are fairly enforced for all.  That is why in November 2007, I went to County Hall and appealed to the Council not to apporve plans for any further sites in NW Leics. I'm happy to say that the plans were then thrown out.
