Group set up to campaign against plans is now 11,000 strong
2:51pm Thursday 19th June 2008
THE BARD Campaign was set up at the beginning of the year when the first rumblings of a planned eco town became known.
BARD stands for Better Accessible and Responsible Development and the group first got together at a meeting in mid-January. David Bliss, the group's chairman was responsible for getting the ball rolling and it was soon decided to launch a campaign in opposition to Middle Quinton.
Communications co-ordinator for the BARD, Hilary Bliss said: "We wanted to hear what people thought and it was decided that we should put a campaign together. The meeting was organised as we were aware of the plans bit we were not sure how many others were.
"We have grown a great deal since then and around 11,000 people have now signed our petition."
