Campaign for Sustainable Harlington -opposing a stadium and commercial development at Junction 12, preserving the Greenbelt and the character of the village

The campaign now has over 350 volunteers and is supported by over 90% of Harlington residents.

About CaSH
| ˇ | We recognise the need for a new stadium for Luton Town Football Club but believe this should be in a suitable urban location actually in Luton. |
| ˇ | We believe that the corresponding commercial development will have a significant detrimental impact on the local area. |
| ˇ | This ‘breaking’ of the greenbelt land surrounding the village will inevitably lead to further erosion of the greenbelt and a fundamental, irreversible change in the culture and character of the village. |
The campaign’s key officers are:
The remainder of the steering group members head up teams focusing on different key issues including transport, environment and economy. The steering group meets every 6 weeks with meetings of the key officers and meetings of the themed teams in between as needed.
The steering group is working closely with similar groups in nearby villages and has formed alliances with key environmental groups including Friends of the Earth.
