NIMBY = Not In My Back Yard. There are a number of such signs by the roadside in Exhall protesting against the proposed development of housing or industrial units on the green belt around towns and cities that is supposedly preserved from building. This is an 'edgeland' district on the fringe of the built-up area, with many small pieces of countryside hemmed in by roads, housing and other developments. They are valued by local people, but also an obvious place for developers to build on and for planners to sacrifice rather than allow building on open countryside.
