I don't know much about any recent building in Atherstone but the people of Stratford have already played a huge price for the housing policies of the last ten years ..The place has had an explosion of new developments littered everywhere accompanied with yet more cars on infrastructure creaking at the seams to support.. The place is in the last gasps of being called "rural"
We have the "Trinity Mead" experiment where I understand this has imported a lot of social problems into the area and where some houses are virtually unsaleable. The people living here who have paid income tax and rates for many years didn't want these estates to be built in the first place as they had chosen to live in a semi rural pleasant environment.
Generally when the will of the public is observed, is what we term a democracy...It is a joke to suggest we live in this situation now where local peoples wishes are ignored
Historically over the last 40 years Government intervention in housing policy has been a disaster as will be the "Middle Quinton" experiment...
Fortunately i'm planning to be out of here soon and leave you to your "eco New Liarbor towns"
