I guess the problem lies in our inability to get reforms within the EU.coupled with their inability to promote themselves in an open and transparent way. My concern remains this fixation we have with growth. In the village next to mine aproval was given last week for 600 new homes this on top of a similar number already underway, 70 million people on our small island and growing courtesy of immigration? Where and when will it end?
Our closest town is Horley in Surrey - over 2,500 new homes built in the last 5 years and a further 1,500 nearing completion. All those have hardly taken up the space of a couple of large fields - when looked at from Google Earth the amount of 'green' space used is miniscule.
Space is not the problem, (even here in the South East), it's the lack of infrastructure, roads, schools, hospitals, shops etc. that are required to support those residents that is the biggest problem. We need to grow our infrastructure BEFORE we allow our population to grow much more.
