250-home estate planned

“to be fair we need more houses than nice views of the countryside,there are people that need to live somewhere,things are changing and so should our mindsets. I accept both sides opinions and agree but I have a home in Rothley so I am familiar with whats going on. If carlsberg made worlds we would all live in 500 acre gardens and forests but they don't!!!”

“@oldhenry. Good thinking mate. But it comes from abroad already. Besides I'm sure u got plenty of potatoes in ya garden. While there's a tesco there fruit and veg. They will get it from somewhere. Unless u want everyone to live in tents on the precious grass. Our kids have got to have the opportunity to buy an house.”

“Food comes from supermarkets and is made in factories, every one knows that. And when Israel and Iran go to war and the oil stops and the deliveries stop we all chew grass. but there will be no grass left, Davies/Jelsol et al. have built on it. OH Dear where is Plan B? That is demolish all the houses make fields and grow food. Too late , so starve it was all too good to last. Nothing is forever, one day teh palnet's life ends and it mightas well be tomorrow as in 5 billion years time.
Bring on Armadgeddon and it will start in the middle east.”

“@karenfall1955. Sorry I wasn't targeting u. I mean in general as u say I'm angry with the country. My family losing out and is a mega struggle. All I try to do is provide for my family. On a serious note if it carries on like this with the house shortage my kids haven't got a chance to get there own property when they r older. If everyone keeps protesting and plans getting turned away I have no work like a lot of other people. It's a peice of grass which will get built on eventually anyway. I'm sick of having s#%t christmas's. this country has screwed a lot of people. It's greed that's done it. The economy is desperate for every penny that gets spent into it. Like if building firms want to invest all that money into it that's good. They want to build houses and a school. It's not a prison or anything that will hinder anyone around it. The houses are such good quality now.”

“Actually Charnwood is taking back control of its housing from the management organisation it set up a few years ago. It will have proper council control of the housing department again rather than an ALMO or housing association so the time is ripe for investment in some new council housing in Rothley.”

“@Kevmundo. Jeez, your maths is as bad as your English. Sometimes I wish I was 67, at least i would have a state pension and a bus pass!! You are obviously very angry as are many people at present but I wish you had chosen your charm school a little more wisely.”

“People object to houses being built and you call them do-gooders (usually meaning bl**ding heart liberals). Oh the irony”

“I think you'll find 2012 minus 1955 is 57!! Now, what we saying about a lack of basics in the youngest today? For mathematics read -E!!”

“@karenfall1955. I see why u wingeing now Karen. 67 years old. Why don't u do some knitting or feed the cat or something. People need them houses and facilities. Food gets imported. It's cheaper than growing it here anyway so build on them boring fields of grass and weeds. Our kids need somewhere to live. It's not our fault the country full of immigrants taking our houses.im a builder so if I got no work therefore no money because of u sad case moaners I will bring my family round your house for Christmas dinner and you can explain to the kids why Santa not bin this year. U lot have had your time and got ya houses and stuff. Give us a chance. We need affordable housing we are not all dole scroungers. The country is struggling really bad at the minute and it only getting worse.”

“Neil,
Just to let you know that Blaby don't have a policy either. They are trying to get one signed off which includes building a new town at Lubbesthrope for 4,250 houses between LFE, Enderby & the M1/M69.

Tis is against local opinion, but they seem to care little about this and are ploughing on regardless.

This week the Inspector reviews their strategy at a weeklong hearing to see if it is potentially sound and legal, but has levels of opposition from a number of parties. This strategy was due to have been in place from 2006, but BDC haven't had a strategy/policy in place since then”
