Eco town at wardle??

It hit the news this week with a bang- i posted last week about the possibility, then it hit the news big time.

The government is quoted as suggusted that we need 3 million new homes by 2020, but where are we going to put them

Prescot was a champion of brownfield developments, and largely very succesful, but we still dont have enough devlopments on the go to satisfy the demand.

There are 1.6 million people that are on the council house waiting list across the uk at the moment , and this figure is sure to increase and we dont build any more council houses any more for the needy.

The only way forward is to seek some sensitive green field sites such as Wardle , which is partially brownfield.

It brought out the NIMBYs on tv

What do you think?

Car parking Charges in Crewe

In last weeks chronicle Cllr Hogben is making a stance over car parking charges in Crewe.

I am in favour of car parking charges and any hike in car parking charges, as this is the only way available at the moment to deter cars causing congestion in Crewe.

What is the alternative Cllr? Some issues just should be political , cllrs should use common sense rather than political point scoring to make judgements.

We should also be charging on the motorways but thats another story.
