Full statement

Samantha participated heavily in trying to save the Holt Farm Oak Tree and continues to hold developers to account for their environmental destruction.

She is also local a mum of two and feels strongly about the lack of SEN provision in the area. She loves nature and wants wildlife to be a major consideration in the future of any development planning.

Samantha says; "I feel saddened by the way the community has been ignored and lied to, and how previously biodiverse wildland has been ripped away. I am scared for a future with gridlocked roads, polluted air, overfilled struggling schools, no doctors, and no wildlife to name a few issues. It's time for a change."
