Extraordinary how all these places of work are being turned in to new housing estates.Vast areas of green fields all around the country are having new housing built over . Herts CC alone have declared 94,000 new homes under construction and /or given the go ahead . Just how and where are all these millions of new people going to work and earn enough to buy all these properties and these are by no means minimalist dwellings . It all looks very much like it will get out of balance and repossessions and unemployment on a vast scale will again return.
Nothing is sacred.
New housing estates/towns/"villages" almost everywhere, Richard.
Dare I say that I saw quite a few as I passed your part of the world the other week on my way to Stansted Airport. Ordinarily, a very pleasant drive across country for me and actually the quickest way to Stansted, only to be stopped with temporary roadworks seemingly here, there and almost everywhere as more new houses are built (perhaps I should have said thrown up). I certainly feel something along those lines, the more I see.
Many stories of course about empty estates nationwide, for all the obvious reasons, but don't want to get too off topic!
A bit late, perhaps, but Best Wishes for 2020 Richard! Hopefully see you soon.
