Housing in East Grinstead - A statement from Serena Tierney
No one wants 2500 houses or significant numbers of additional houses in East Grinstead or indeed anywhere in Mid Sussex. Liberal Democrats are keen to protect the existing character of East Grinstead and ensure the existing town benefits from investment in infrastructure after years of neglect. It must also be stated that if there are to be any extra homes, then such houses must not be a bolt on to serve Crawley but bring benefits such as Town Centre regeneration and local jobs. I would like to clarify that, as indicated above, Lib Dems on both Town and County Councils have voted against the current Tory plans for 2500 houses as providing insufficient protection for the town with insufficient safeguards on infrastructure.
