Shock as Conservative Housing Minister says “build on green fields”
Conservative housing boss Robert Jenrick shocked countryside campaigners with a renewed pledge to see more building even on the Greenbelt as targets for new housebuilding look set to increase AGAIN.
We need to get the right homes in the right places and boost the number of social rented homes for local people - but that musn’t mean urban sprawl that merges our towns and villages into Southampton.
Here in Eastleigh, your Lib Dem Council has met existing housing targets by boosting the number of social rented homes built. That’s over 1,000 in the last three years.
Many Conservative Councils cave in to pressure from big builders and don’t insist on social housing. And Labour in Southampton recently agreed 519 homes with NO social housing included.
(The below is the excerpt from the Newspaper clipping about CON Housing Minister Jenrick from the Sunday Times on 28 March 2021)
Jenrick: We need to build on green fields
(Tim Shipman Political Editor)
More homes will have to bebuilt on greenfield land if the government is to hit its target of building one million homes before the next general election, the housing secretary has admitted.
In a private call last week with MPs and donors, Robert Jenrick also suggested that there might need to be building on the protected
green belt as well.
Jenrick made the comments in a video call with members of the Conservative Friends of India."
Getting Housing Numbers Right in our Borough
Government Target for EBC 2000-2020
- 10,161 homes.
Number built - 10,482 homes, across the full housing cycle.
Just what’s needed to protect our green spaces from greedy builders, stopping them winning planning appeals.
Our Lib Dem Council getting it right for our area!
New Hope for Hampshire
Hampshire needs hope, and new direction, says Cllr Bruce Tennent.
The Liberal Democrats have the vision to put hope back into Hampshire. The Conservatives have cost you more and delivered less, charging you more while slashing vital services. Social care is in crisis.
Our roads and pavements are in decay. Climate Change is an afterthought. Conservative management embraces cuts, manages decline, and forgets about people.
As we start to recover from Covid-19, Hampshire deserves better. We need a County Council that will put people and communities first, fix problems, and have thevision to address the climate emergency.
We need a County Council that truly recognises young people as the future, and respects and values older people and those in need of help. And we need a County Council that backs skills and business to generate the wealth to support world class services.
Hampshire’s strength is its people. We need a County Council that trusts you more and instructs you less, where you can be part of making the decisions we need to get Hampshire back on its feet and with hope for the future.
It’s time for a change at Hampshire.
It’s time for a Liberal Democrat-led Hampshire.

Richard Murphy: Listening to YOUR policing priorities
Richard has been listening to residents across Hampshire. He knows how much people care deeply about their communities. Richard is hearing strong messages about practical steps you want him to take as our next Police & Crime Commissioner to make policing better.
Over 2,000 people have now filled in his online survey, and from that:
. More than 9 out of 10 of you feel that there is not a strong enough police presence in our area. Did you know Hampshire and Isle of Wight police receive £43 million less than the national average?
• Nearly two-thirds of people think crime and antisocial behaviour has got worse in the last 12 months, with over half of you witnessing it in the last 3 months.
Richard will support young people, and invest in keeping them away from crime.
Richard will fight for better funding and support our police to be more visible in our communities.
Take the opportunity now to tell Richard your views at richardmurphy.news/survey and see the latest results at richardmurphy.news/survey_results
• The lack of policing of our roads is a big concern, with over half of people worried about speeding. Richard will make safe roads one of his top priorities.
The Conservatives have failed us on crime.
Only Richard Murphy can beat the Conservatives across Hampshire.
