Oh my Gods I am actually in tears, everything the book warned about, and yet houses remain empty and people like me are facing eviction  :'( :'( :'(
We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.


Bring the peace back

Done :thumbsup:

Sorry, this is the Tories at their best - why would anyone be surprised at this  >:(

If they go ahead with changes to the planning laws in England, expect far more of this and it will be almost impossible to stop. The developers will be calling the shots.

Exactly. There are plenty of these close by in this instance, it is just more expensive to clear them before building.

It really is a beautiful place at the moment as well. Disgraceful.
