Green Belt land should remain open and undeveloped and construction should not be allowed there, according to a MORI poll conducted in England.
MORI在英格蘭做的一項民調顯示，受訪者認為綠帶應該保持、不要開發，而且應該禁止在綠帶上進行建設。
A total of 84 percent of 931 people were interviewed in England between June 30 and July 4 this year for the Campaign to Protect Rural England. The survey was unveiled 50 years after the publication of the original government circular instructing councils to look at establishing Green Belts.
民調機構於今年6月30日到7月4日間，訪問了931名英國人，84%支持保護英國郊區運動。這項調查結果公布時，距英國政府發布公告，指示各地方議會審議建立綠帶已有50年。
The poll found wide public awareness of Green Belts. People perceive housebuilding, road building and other kinds of development including airport expansion as the biggest threats facing them.
這項民調顯示，公眾大多知道綠帶的重要性，也知道蓋房子、開闢馬路以及擴建機場等種種開發建設是綠帶最大的威脅。
Green Belts are under threat owing to government plans for massive, increased housing in the wider South East which threatens to relax the belt that has contained the line against urban sprawl for decades, according to CPRE. dpa
保護英國郊區運動指出，英國政府打算在比較遼闊的東南地區大興土木增建住宅，數十年來阻擋都市漫無邊際發展的綠帶將受到威脅。德通社
