We feel that the villages of Thurnby and Bushby are threatened by the expansion of the city of Leicester and therefore support the continuation of the Leicester, Thurnby and Oadby Green Wedge as a defence against this threat.

Similarly, we also support the extension of the Leicester, Scraptoft and Bushby Green Wedge.

Green Wedges were introduced to save valuable landscape which local residents feel improves the quality of their lives and they also help maintain air quality for everyone.
