UNSCRUPULOUS PROPERTY DEVELOPERS IN BROMSGROVE

Early day motion 1496, tabled 12 July 2004 by Julie Kirkbride (Conservative). Signed by 20 members.

That this House deeply deplores the unscrupulous activities of a company called Property Spa operating in the Majors Green area of Bromsgrove who are dividing up fields in the greenbelt and offering plots of land for sale with the implication that they will be eventually allowed planning permission for a house; is particularly concerned that the company is targeting hard working Asian communities and others who may not realise how speculative this investment may be; believes that the company seeks to deliberately mislead its clients as to the prospects of future planning by showing them newly-built houses in the area; and calls on the Government to take urgent measures to stop this blight on the countryside when these parcels of land are subdivided and protect the hard-earned savings of families taken in by the hard-sell techniques and unsavoury tactics of these scam operators.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Conservative 3, Labour/Co-operative 2, Liberal Democrat 1.
