WINCHESTER countryside campaigners have formed a new alliance to fight plans for local new towns. Three Winchester campaign groups have united to oppose building new towns as a way of delivering housing targets. The Countryside Charity CPRE Hampshire, Save South Winchester Campaign Group (SSWCG) and the Dever Society are urging Winchester City Council to reject building new towns in their new Local Plan. The city council published ‘Your Place Your Plan: Strategic Issues and Priorities Consultation’, the first opportunity for Winchester residents to have their say on the new Local Plan, the blueprint for development until 2038. New towns are one of four housing options proposed.
