We’ve just heard that MPs will be debating the government’s damaging proposals to deregulate planning on Thursday 8 October – just a few short days away.
Things are happening so fast with this campaign, so we need to be quick to react to opportunities like this.
This debate is the perfect chance to put ministers on the spot and show them just how serious we are.
We know we’ve asked you to do a lot recently, and only a few days ago we asked you to email your MP, but this is a huge moment that we can’t miss.
Will you email your MP now and ask them to attend the debate?
Yes, I’ll take action
We need as many MPs as possible to turn up and ask tough questions of the government. The more MPs who do so, the harder it will be for ministers to stick to their plans.
Representing you in parliament is part of their job, so they should be happy to go along and raise your concerns.
The government is on shaky ground already. Almost 40,000 of you have signed our petition opposing the damaging plans, and thousands more emailed your MPs just last week.
This debate wouldn’t be happening if it wasn’t for you.
Now we have an ideal opportunity to ensure our voice is heard in parliament.
Will you help us deliver another blow to the government’s damaging proposals by urging your MP to go to the debate?
Email my MP
Thank you for the part you have played so far. We are in this together and are strongest when we are united. Let’s keep the pressure up.
Until next time,
Sam, Maddy, Mark and the CPRE team
