that they'll actually deliver needed family housing. Note that I am not supportive of development on the high ridges by New Addington or at Huntingfield only well to the south of the Featherbed inch point. 9/12
I'm pleased to see response to my concerns about racial discrimination in Plan. It's time that politicians brought life to equalities rather than it being a not understood mantra. Discrimination in plain sight of having a preference for burial spaces outside MOL & Green 10/12

@GeorgeMonbiot Some local council politicians' free speech credentials are threadbare, regarding press coverage or questioning as temeritous intrusion. The decline of local media generally means there's not much speech of any kind, free or not, anyway, down at this level of local governance.1/7
