Gosport and Fareham MPs to hold public meeting over 1,250-home development in strategic gap

Dame Caroline Dinenage and Suella Braverman, MPs for Gosport and Fareham respectively, will host the meeting next Friday.

The free-to-attend public meeting will allow residents the opportunity to express their thoughts and concerns over the housing proposal for land south of Longfield Avenue.

The 1,250-home development sits on the strategic gap between Fareham and Gosport.

Dame Caroline has criticised the proposal numerous times, along with the government’s housing targets.

‘Numerous constituents have raised concerns with me about this allocation and I strongly believe that we should not be building houses on the few remaining green spaces in our area,’ she said.

‘A development of this nature would put additional pressure on local infrastructure and worsen the already poor air quality in Fareham.’

The event will be held at St Philip Howard Church in Bishopsfield Road, Fareham at 6.30pm on Friday, July 22. People can register for tickets here.
