| Comment: Development of additional schools, health centres, houses, factories, warehouse, offices etc. is essential if we are to improve the standard of living for all. Green Belt was a wonderful idea, it was conceived as a public health measure linked with the garden city movement, it was hijacked by the middle classes as a way of keeping the poor away from 'their' area. Green Belt encourages commuting. Development should be adjacent to the existing urban area to make best use & improve facilities. |
