looks like a return to this but with the slight difference that some money will go back into building low cost housing.

if they do build more houses with the revenue we would be heading further downill.
england(not great britain) is the 6th most densely populated country in the world.

i would think they need to, the population is growing all the time, businesses are booming - the only way is up for ashford.
i think of it as a city now.

Please don't !! A city needs touristy stuff and historic places of interest... I still haven't found anything

i have to agree that ashford has a long way to go before it becomes a citadel of culture but a city nonetheless.

Ashford is a railway Town going back many years of railway history,I worked at the Ashford railway works for about 10years,as I said with Ashford it was and still is a Railway town.They had at one time 100s of houses rented by the Railway workers,but they have all been sold off or pulled down to make way for the new ones.At one time I also worked in Milton Keynes but only for a few weeks puting up new buildings,but just try and find you way round ,all the streets are in numbers.

brian;
i'm a little baffled by your last post.
we are all immigrants
send everyone back to where they come from? rather a strange comment, more so when you have such a pro EU opinion

Keith that just proves that we all want to cherry pick the bits of the EU we like and reject the rest. Me too. I want free trade (in other words, what I voted for in 1973) and sod everything else.

cherry pick, we are part of a club matey
and no govt(not even daves cobbled together one) has any moves to remove the uk from the eu
once we can get our head round that we might move on further

You are right Keith, we all want to go back to what we signed up to in the first place. That is, to stay in but dismantle everything except the free trade bits; in particular, turn our parliament back into a law-making institution, not the rubber stamp for Euro-laws that it has become.

peter;
i do like it when you speak for ALL SMILEY lol
thing is as you call them
ALL not everyone has your view,
there are some that want out of the E.U all together
but as i'v said thats a pipe dream as not if barryw's dave is making any moves in that direction, in fact hes showing his very pro eu colours
totally out of favour with his own membership, hes certainly making things difficult for himself

England has meanwhile a higher population density than Lebanon and Rwanda. Lebanon has 346 people per square km in 2011, Rwanda 394, England 395.
South East England, however, has the highest population density in the whole world, far outreaching Taiwan and South Korea, and the highest constant increase of population in the world.

A bit dense, the population of England's SE, you say?
