Again, the Council are saying the right things while doing the opposite. The way to protect our fragile green infrastructure is to maintain low growth. They seem to think we have to take part in some sort of competition without really considering the goals. Building houses will purportedly increase local jobs (though it doesn`t follow that it would) and they want to increase jobs because it would attract people to the region. Many local jobs rely on tourism, attracted by the historic and rural character of the neighbourhood, which wil be destroyed when it becomes another cloned `garden town`.
