Liberal Democrat Councillors on Redcar & Cleveland Council voted against Labour’s Local Plan.
 
Liberal Democrat Group Leader, Glyn Nightingale commented:

“The Council’s Draft Local Plan was a flawed rush-job.

“The Lib Dems reject Labour’s scheme to build houses that will join Redcar to Marske and to produce more urban sprawl, especially in Ormesby and Nunthorpe.
 
“No matter how hard Labour try to shift the blame, the selection of housing development sites is their responsibility.
 
“Liberal Democrats are committed to ensuring an appropriate Local Plan is quickly put in place. But the plan must ensure that the borough is an attractive place to live and matches local people’s aspirations.”
