Topic: Gedling (UK Parliament constituency)


  
  Gedling (UK Parliament constituency) Information
Gedling is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
In the 2005 general election, the Conservative candidate Anna Soubry caused controversy by revealing that she "was not proud" of the area she was intending to represent, referring to crime levels in the Nottingham area [1].
However, Labour and the Conservatives both gained a lower percentage of the vote in Gedling than in 2001, so the swing could even be considered to be from both of these parties to the Liberal Democrats and the two eurosceptic parties, UKIP and Veritas.

 Planning Portal - Local plan criticised in Parliament   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A Nottinghamshire local plan has come under fire in Parliament where a backbench Labour MP criticised the way housing allocations had been made and warned of legal challenges over proposals to release greenbelt land for major residential development.
Paddy Tipping MP claimed in the Commons that the Gedling local plan, nearly 10 years in preparation was "fatally flawed".
The MP for the Sherwood constituency said the planning authority had annoyed many local people by proposing to release green field and greenbelt land for housing before making use of brownfield sites like former collieries.

 Gedling Local Plan: 15 Jun 2005: Westminster Hall debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)
There is a strong feeling in the north of the Gedling borough council area that the council is making the wrong decision, that the local plan is fundamentally flawed, that it is bad in principle and that it will produce the wrong results.
The Gedling local plan is based on the existing structure plan, but as the Minister will know—his officials have been looking at this—a new structure plan is emerging in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
Friend acknowledges that it would be inappropriate for me to comment on the merits of specific policies or allocations proposed in the Gedling replacement local plan, as it could prejudice the First Secretary of State's impartiality in fulfilling his statutory responsibilities.
