Your Say Your Thurrock

IN fairness to the residents of Woodview, it is right that a debate is called on this development. The fact that Labour and the DC were happy to push this through without a care in the world shows how little they view planning issues. Although the site was earmarked as a place where future house building could occur, agreed to by the Tories, at least they are questioning whether this development is right for this space and listening to the residents, rather than simply rolling over like the party currently in charge of the council.  − Bernard 87, Chafford Hundred
