The reason for this website is to make people aware that some rural aspects of Iron Acton are presently at risk of being built on by a housing developer.  This website has been built and funded by local residents who completely oppose this development.  Join us to take action now!

The Council are against the proposals put forward by the developers but their decision could still be over turned.

NEWS: 15th July 2011 BAE Systems announced its intention to close Filton Airfield in December 2012. This could effect the Core Strategy drastically and help remove the pressure on rural areas, please contact us via the “CONTACT US” page so we can help show you the six questions South Glos Council are asking and how you can reply, you will only need to send one email and your voice will be heard.  Act now because this opportunity ends on the 29th July 2011

NEWS:  26th March 2011 Steve Webb MP joined concerned locals & supporters of this campaign in coming together to demonstrate their objections to the developers plans (26/03/11).  The campaign hits the headlines in the latest Focus magazine & The Bristol Evening Post will be publishing an article on the campaign.

6th March 2011

The developers have appealed against the Council’s decision to oppose the development.  So we STILL need your help to prevent this disaster.

Please sign our online Petition to show your support to save Engine Common & the Parish of Iron Acton from becoming another mass housing estate.

If you are willing to offer additional support through positive action or you like to be kept up to date, please use the Contact Us page so we can contact you.

We intend to present the Petition to the Council to aid them in resisting the latest appeal from the developers.

Please continue to browse this site using the tabs at the top of the page.

Thank you for your time and support.
