 Re: The Green -Belt should be built over
The barbarians are at the gate.
Builders must be rubbing their hands with glee, on the way to the bank.
The concept of the green belt should be kept sacosanct. These people confuse change with progress. What was a good idea is still a good idea. Big is not beautiful and the green belt provides a healthy collar.
Any new development should be sustainable and incorporate jobs so that people need not commute. We have the "privilege" of a new town being built near us (ironically, I believe that it will be partly on land currently used as an Immigration Centre). A big play is made of the fact that the town is designed to be sustainable incorporating work, leisure, health and education facilities. This will not stop people travelling, but might help reduce the need.
I will now put away my soapbox.
