I am constantly being contacted by residents across the constituency asking for help in their fight against inappropriate development of green spaces in their area.

This is an issue that affects everyone. One of the key reasons people choose to live in this area - our green spaces - is under savage threat. Residents feel helpless as their concerns are overlooked and garden after garden is lost to new developments.

The problem is that Gardens have no real protection. Instead of being cherished as havens for wildlife, not to mention the sheer pleasure they bring communities, they have the status of neglected industrial wasteland.

We need to change that nationally, and we need to challenge that locally. Instead of meekly accepting centrally imposed housing targets, it's time for the local Council to put up a fight.

I will fight this battle, but I need your support. Together we can win. We can and must make it impossible for the Lib Dem Council to continue their policy of allowing inappropriate, over-the-top development of our Boroughs.

The only way that will happen is if we let them know the full scale of local support for the protection of green spaces. With your help, I will make this happen. Please do sign the petition above and email to campaign@zacgoldsmith.com

Many thanks indeed.
