Green Party election hopeful Rob White has given his support to Hazel Blears' unpopular decision to call in the Station Hill development. The Reading East prospective Parliamentary candidate said: "I hope that through the call-in process this regeneration can be made better. So well done to Hazel Blears for taking that step."

The Green Party has many objections to the development as it stands and have unveiled their own plans for the area. Rob told our reporter: "A new sort of thinking is required - Green Thinking. Mr. Madejski's plans will see a massive increase in the use of the iron horse when it is a well documented fact that speeds of over 20 mph can lead to profuse bleeding of the gums and even fatal death. Instead of building new people factories in the centre of town, we should be reducing the need for people to travel to work by providing a loom in every home."

However, the final nail in the coffin according to the Green Party is the shear scale of the development. "If buildings were meant to be more than one storey high, then straw would be self-supporting," he told us.
