North East Herts MP, Sir Oliver Heald, has backed the objections of Walkern and Aston Parish Councils to the Gresley Park development (EOS1) currently being considered by the Inspector as part of the East Herts District Council Local Plan.
Commenting, Sir Oliver said "This site is in Stephen McPartland's constituency and I support his objection to it. It is also important to Walkern in my constituency because this site would breach the accepted boundary of Stevenage and narrow the gap with Walkern in an unacceptable way. I have written to the Inspector backing the objections of the two Parish Councils and Stephen McPartland MP."
