Kwasi led an adjournment debate in Parliament last night on a proposed waste and recycling development in Shepperton, arguing that the views of local residents and Spelthorne Borough Council should be considered paramount in planning decisions relating to it.
Kwasi says:
"I sympathize with the deep concerns people have about this development, and it is my job to give voice to them. I led the debate in Parliament to do this at the highest level and to make sure that the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government is fully aware of local opinion and the arguments in hand before he takes the decision to block the development, call it in for his determination or allow it."
The official transcript of the debate is detailed in the daily Hansard, 5 Sept, Column 145
