The VGS is not a campaigning or lobby group – and instead tries to collect and present ‘both sides of the argument’. 

However, when it comes to the Knowle project, because alternatives to the ‘official side’ are not so readily available, over the coming weeks these news pages will provide a space for discussion of both the details and the wider issues being presented by the applicant.
