Greenhill Action Group

Greenhill Action Group is a long-standing community group opposed to proposals to build on the northern side of the Leeds-Liverpoool Canal, an area they describe as "the only green lung for residents in the Bingley/Crossflats area". The group, who seem very experienced, are at pains to stress that they are independent of any political party, but are supported by local MP Philip Davies (Conservative).

As a result of questions tabled by Mr Davies, the area was visited recently by the grandly-titled Minister of State at the Department of Communities and Local Government, Greg Clark MP, who met with the group and also looked at the area in question.

A proposed Planning Panel, due to take place at the end of July, has been postponed with a new date yet to be confirmed. The local authority Plannibng Service has carried out a site assessment but has asked the applicant for more detailed information and is currently waiting for a reply.
