Representation Summary:

I am wholeheartedly behind retaining as much green space as possible, because once it is gone, it's gone, but I understand the need for more housing. However, not only are we creeping onto green space, but more and more homes are cementing over gardens for parking. Land with one house and a garden, is being rebuilt with flats and more parking, no greenery. More and more cars.
I would like to see a commitment to planting more trees. They are so important to reducing pollution and noise, and providing oxygen and water. Trees help mitigate the concrete and the cars.
