STOP OVERDEVELOPMENT IN TRING
Dacorum’s draft Local Plan proposes a huge 45% increase in Tring’s size (2,250 new houses) - far higher than the Borough-wide 25% rise. This is planned for the Marshcroft and New Mill sites to the east of town and the Dunsley site near the A41. Tring is being unfairly burdened. Hemel-based Dacorum has silenced many of our Borough Councillors and is dumping its housing allocations on Tring.
BREAKING NEWS - Our final chance to stop 46% growth!
WHAT'S AT RISK?
No guaranteed additional infrastructure – schools, doctors, services, and roads will rely on house builders’ promises and there are many examples up and down the country where these have not been fulfilled.

DONATE TO SUPPORT OUR FIGHT
Generous donations so far have enabled us to hire planning consultants and legal expertise. Thanks to your incredible support, we have achieved significant success at the Local Plan Examination in Public, and managed to get another predatory planning application rejected by DBC. But the battle continues, with an Appeal Public Inquiry later this year. Please give what you can - every penny helps us to represent the people of Tring and fight for our town!
