If only someone with no vested interests would put themselves forward to be co-opted onto the town council...
I also thought that it sounded familiar when I read the story in Saturday's paper. I find it so sad that party politics is so influential at town council level. The political parties were comprehensively ousted in Cullompton, and the rump of tories left behind should have allowed the independants to get on with putting right the wrongs that years of party political control had caused. I hope that ...
Oh behave, you sound like a party politician. A 40p newspaper is not necessarily affordable to all. Why only pick on affordable housing? Is affordable housing only affordable if [i]everyone[/i] can afford it? Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "allegation", and used "implication" instead. The question still stands though - you implied that only 11 dwellings were being proposed for that field in ...
And you've also apparently missed the logic behind the reason for there being only 11 dwellings proposed for that field. If your allegation was true, then why aren't 14 dwellings being proposed for that field?
"is not necessarily affordable at all." Ergo, it's not necessarily unaffordable either! If they were unaffordable, then wouldn't they all be empty??? They're not, therefore the occupants must have enough money to afford to live there! Logically speaking...
Lynne, have you looked up the definition of affordable housing? If you did, then you wouldn't need to keep up the affectation of using single quotes around the word. There's really no need. As for this particular proposal, the landowner's field couldn't fit in more than 11 dwellings, that's why only 11 are being built - otherwise the landowner would want to build 14 surely?
Rest assured that the Conservative's disgraceful attack on our country, enshrined within their national planning policy framework, will mean that the proposals will be passed. This country has got worse since the tories and their lapdogs lied their way into government. God help us all if they survive the full 5-year term.
A maximum of 14 dwellings, apparently.
Steady on tiger! ;-) No-one told me anything. I genuinely asked you how much it is at the petrol station that you champion on here, but only because I don't know. I have no vested interest.
@MoH. Who did they say they were to you? I was told they are a business beginning with "L", and I had no reason to disbelieve them or their claim of being 'involved' locally for 12 years. I would be interested to know who you think they are and then why they would hide their identity.
