Lidlington Action Group repeats call to amend the size of the Marston Valley development
The Lidlington Action Group (LAG) was represented at Central Bedfordshire Council’s January meeting (17 January 2019).
LAG is opposed to the 5,000 new homes that the Marston Valley development would bring to the village. The group isn’t calling for the whole scheme to be scrapped, only to be reduced in size.
