Dear Supporter,

      We believe that the current threat of houses being built upon the Vivary Green Wedge has now all but disappeared. The scrapping of the controversial RSS by the current Coalition Government, which in turn scrapped the top down housing target of 26,000 new houses for Taunton, has taken away the desperate need to build on the treasured open green spaces within our town. The North of Taunton, which has much better infrastructure and access to important transport links, is expected to provide the vast majority of the town’s housing expansion over the next 20 to 30 years.
      The Vivary Green Wedge will continue to be a tranquil setting with unenviable public access and the wild animals will continue to enjoy their unspoilt habitat, whilst an abundance of high quality food is still produced from its high grade agricultural soil.
      This website will now be put into hibernation.

We thank you for all the wonderful support to protect our open green spaces.

Regards
The Save the Vivary Green Wedge Campaign
