An impassioned video showing Greenbelt campaigner Sapphire McCarthy condemning council plans to ‘rip away 90% of S13’s Greenbelt’ - just hours before her tragic death - has been released by her supporters ahead of today’s local plan hearings in Sheffield.
The video was taken ahead of a packed public meeting which Saph organised against the controversial plan by Sheffield City Council which would place around half of all proposed greenbelt development in this one postcode. Tragically after the meeting the mum-of-two returned home and unexpectedly passed away aged 39.
The group released the video showing Saph’s impassioned pleas - made just a few hours before she passed away - to ensure she would have a presence at the first day of the local plan hearings - as she wanted, and in tribute to her setting up the campaign group.
