Who supports it?

‘I strongly support the ideas in your Richmond Declaration’. Boris Johnson, Mayor of London.

‘The Richmond Declaration couldn’t be more important. It is a defining reaction against successive planning blunders that have undermined our community, and provides real long-term vision’. Zac Goldsmith, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Richmond Park.

‘If we do not put up a fight to change planning policy then our historic environment will be destroyed forever’. Deborah Thomas, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Twickenham.

‘Every London Borough has to present a new plan called the Local Development Framework. This vital document will affect our lives for years. The LibDems rushed their draft plan through before Boris Johnson became Mayor. Why? So that the bleak policies of Ken Livingstone, of garden grabbing, high density and high rise, will live on. We can and MUST do better’. Councillor Nick True, Conservative Leader of the Opposition.

‘Are you worried about the growing threat from developers to the beautiful character of our Borough? Our Richmond Declaration contains planning principles developed from us listening to what you, the residents, want’. Councillor Virginia Morris, Conservative Shadow Cabinet Member for Planning and Civic Pride.

‘Are you angered by the demolition of old houses; constant garden grabbing; by the use of cheap, shoddy materials; by developers who get away with flouting the rules? Virginia and I have been on the planning committee since 2002 and seen how far national planning policies are away from what local people really want. The Richmond Declaration is our idea of empowering a local voice and democracy’. Councillor Clare Head, Conservative Shadow Cabinet Member for Traffic and Transport.
