Aislinn Lee, Liberal Democrat County Councillor for the area of the proposed Freight Terminal has welcomed the decision by the Secretary of State to refuse planning permission for the Freight Terminal.

Aislinn commented on the decision: ‘This is absolutely brilliant news for Park Street, St Albans City, and surrounding areas. After years and years of dedicated hard work from individual residents, STRIFE, local Councillors and St Albans District Council finally we have the result we all so rightly deserve. When the community comes together with such a united front against this abominable proposal it is indeed gratifying to see that this Coalition Government made the right decision. I am simply ‘over the moon’!’
