Downhill spiral ever since 1930

I KNOW enough about local history to be sure my area of the south coast was at its best about 1930.

Apart from the benefits of technology, the way has been down ever since, mainly due to over-population and excess building.

Urban expansion in the past 50 years has had almost nothing to do with local need.

It has had everything to do with government unable to manage the country, while encouraging immigration from abroad, and migration from the Great Wen of London, in order to expand the economy for the benefit of a few fat cats.

An Eco-Town at Ford will merely be an infill to the south coast conurbation, and nothing to resemble an identifiable town.

I am not surprised the younger generation reputedly drinks to excess, and is plugged in to virtual reality.

The government today is making this country an environmentally degraded Babel.
