Over 1,100 residents wrote personal objections. Thousands signed petitions. Our local council voted 11 to 1 against the DHL Towcester development. I stood with you, spoke out, and submitted evidence. Yet the Planning Inspectorate overturned our democratic decision.
This week, I challenged the Housing Minister directly: How can the Government expect meaningful public engagement when local voices are so easily dismissed?
This isn’t just about Towcester. It’s about restoring trust in our planning system. That’s why I’m backing a local petition to democratise planning—so communities like ours have real power over decisions that shape our future.
