@leatash - but given that we have a shortage of construction workers where would we find them in order to construct all the infrastructure? do we really have that large a number of skilled carpenters, turners, plasterers, brickies etc banged up in our prisons? @majorp - yes i do remember. what bit of his speech do you particularly have in mind?
What form of help from the government do you have in mind?
Te dah! Here's how the migrant worker shortage will be sorted out - by prisoners! Prisoners could help fill post-Brexit workforce gap, says minister ... https://www.theguardian.com/society/.../david-gauke-prisoner-employment-strategy 24 May 2018 - David Gauke launches employment strategy to improve prisoners ' work ... ...

For info (in case anyone is interested) see below text of email I sent Cllr Mawhood in response to her April email request for views from the public on the future of the lawn. Thoughts on the future of the lawn in Dawlish Flooding: I understand that because the Lawn is a flood plain the EA will need to be involved as to what and where any new buildings can be sited. ...

I expressed my thoughts to Cllr Mawhood when she sent out her round robin email back at the beginning of April asking for ...
