    No doubt the rest of Warwickshire will be next - can't have all that green space getting in the way of economic development.

    What many fail to realise is that once it's gone, it's gone! - There's no going back.

    Yet again, if we didn't import so many people we wouldn't be needing to do this. What we are actually seeing is a catastrophic failure of UK policy. People really do need to open their eyes and see what's going on.

    Absolutely shameful, but totally predictable.

    I can't see what Street has actually done for the area to justify any money at all.
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    I'm surprised it took this long for the West Midlands mayor to start sniffing around outside his patch: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...-in-stratford/

    He hasn't exactly done much for the WM, perhaps he ought to focus on what he's paid for?

    I personally, think he's a waste of space and an oxygen thief.

    Warwickshire County Council are in secret talks to join the WMCA. How bl***y sneaky and underhand can they get!?

    Let's put it this way... It's not to the benefit of the electorate!

    We are paying for the idiot Street. His achievements to date are the square root of sweet FA!

    For once, I find myself agreeing with Labour - the Conservatives are in it for the votes. Another overconfident assumption; they'll be royally wiped out at the next general election.

    Govey is getting involved. Being run from Birmingham is really not going to be a good for Warwickshire (apart from our council tax being sucked into the city): https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/ne...plans-27268486

    Gove is a plonker, and needs to keep his nose out.

    Being subservient to Birmingham is no good to any of us. Remember the WMCC? That didn't end well, did it? But by then, they'd ripped all the funds they could out of us. - Oh, don't forget that Birmingham council is in financial trouble, they'll do anything to keep that from going under!

    The plan's been dropped. Nothing to do with being a big vote loser, of course.

    I think we'll see many 'unpopular' policies and plans being dropped over the next few months. Sadly, I fear many will be revived as a new government takes its place in Westminster.

    Leamington & Warwick's MP has raised a petition against the County joining WMCA. A bit late to the party: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...thority-46215/
