In order to support the building of thousands of new homes around Canterbury, the City Council has drafted a local plan to build a Western Bypass route between Harbledown and Whitstable Road which residents fear will destroy local meadows.
A petition, No Western Bypass Through Our Valley, has been set up by local residents in order to object to the proposals and to date is nearing 2000 signatures.
Concerned residents should consider signing the petition above, and can find out more about the protests here.
