Introducing SHUV

SHUV (South Hampshire's Unheard Voices) is an alliance of community groups (see list below) that has been set up to fight the Regional Assembly's plan to build 80,000 homes in south Hampshire.

Caroline Dibden and Claire Smith, organisers of SHUV, at Funtley on 16th May. They are standing in front of the area that would be built on.

The alliance will cover the same area as PUSH, the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire, a coalition of councils from Havant to Southampton, which drafted the south Hampshire section for the regional assembly.

See full announcement of the formation of SHUV and About SHUV for further background.
