Last year sinkov we had a ride out for lunch and headed off towards Stonyhurst College, I was shocked at the destruction of the green belt from Hurst Green right into Stonyhurst.
Housing developments were springing up everywhere without it seemed to me any regard for parking and the provision of schools and health care.
While the idiots in Town & Country Planning destroy our green belts, brownfield sites inside Blackburn, Bolton and Burnley remain unused.
Only the predominantly white middle class can afford to live in Stonyhurst and I think that's where the problem rises.
The urbanisation inside the UK's large cities remains, places like Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and huge areas of London have a major social housing black hole but developers would rather have the easy pickings of destroying the green belt areas such as the Ribble Valley because that's where the profit lies.
Capitalism works a treat mon ami. NOT!
