THE Wanstead Society has vowed to fight on to save the Evergreen Field if the government's decision goes against it.

Members of the society, who held their annual general meeting on Thursday, pledged their continuing support to keep housing developments off the Evergreen site in Wanstead,

Earlier this year, Redbridge Council tried to protect Wanstead's green field by declaring it an open space in its Unitary Development Plan.

The decision on whether it can be protected will be decided by a government inspector following a public inquiry earlier in the year. The verdict is due in December.

Wanstead Society spokesman Laurie Laughlin said: "We have been told by councillors that the inspector will get back shortly. If they find against the council, that will not be the end of it."
