"Daventry Calling" was the
world famous BBC signature announcement of Empire Radio and World
Service Broadcasts. Plans exist to build thousands of houses all
around Borough Hill on beautiful rolling countryside. It is
therefore fitting to use this call sign as a rallying cry to stop
these appalling plans. The pictures you can see above are taken
from Borough Hill. Most of what you can see will be covered in
concrete!

Daventry is a small market
town tucked away in Northamptonshire which is surrounded on all
sides by greenbelt - not just flat featureless landscape but the
best type of English rolling countryside. The town has limited
capacity to expand without destroying its surroundings and the very
essence of itself. The government have appointed an unelected body
(WNDC) to force through their social engineering plans to double the
size of Daventry in a decade; destroying rare wildlife and covering
the countryside in concrete in the process!

insanity!

The destruction of the best views in Northamptonshire!
The following quotation is taken from “Borough Hill and
its History” by William Edgar (1923):-
“Borough Hill is
celebrated for the magnificent view obtainable from its
summit. This view including as it does some of the best of
Midland scenery, well-wooded hills, fertile valleys and
extensive plains melting into a distance bounded only by
atmospheric conditions, forms a panorama unequalled in the
county... on a clear day the range of vision extends into
seven other counties, Warwickshire, Worcestershire,
Staffordshire, Shropshire, Leicestershire, Bedfordshire, and
Buckinghamshire.”

The
entire area of Borough Hill is a scheduled ancient monument
of National importance consisting of one of the largest Iron
Age Hillforts in the country. It also has a Roman Villa and
Cemetery on the top!
They plan to surround the hill with a housing estate. Can
you believe it?
See what they will destroy

Daventry Reservoir is a County Wildlife site supporting
large populations of endangered birds. They plan to build
four storey houses within yards of it. The noise, light
pollution and domestic cats will decimate the population.
