Neil, DDC want "growth points status" and New Home Bonus funds, so as to get the district budget in order for a few years and perhaps a few years more.
So, once they have used up these "growth point status" benefits (whatever they equate to only God and Paul W know
), and once they have used up the New Home Bonys funds, what then?
Another 9,000 houses in 20 years time or what?
Meanwhile, where would all these new residents work, in London?
Where would their children work, in London?
And HOW MUCH POLLUTION will we be breathing in when walking along Barton and Frith Roads, Folkestone and London Roads, and Tower Hamlets?
What about the children going to school on these areas?
Have DDC done a pollution measurement lately?. Have they made a pollution assessment in their grandiose plans?
Well I bet they haven't!
Have DDC done an employment assessment in their urbanisation plans?
Neil, any project needs to be thought out, discussed and assessed, many times over.
DDC Local Government have only counted as far as 5 on their fingers to see how much they can garner in funds, that's as far as it went.
