Frankly, I don't blame them.

Coventry Council has agreed to take in plenty of waifs and strays that it has no need to. Let Coventry sort out what it has committed to. Being totally fair, Central government has given Coventry plenty by way of Grants for this.

If Lucas can't sort out the sh*t she's created, tough!

Well, the vote's gone through: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-34437976

Sad, but are we really that surprised?

Not really, although, hopefully, it'll get some of the traffic out of the town centre.

N&B Council's decision has caused a bit of the proverbial to his the fan: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/80000-new-homes-plan-coventry-10182691

I like the way Harvey is talking about consultation with the people. I hope the irony isn't lost on Lucas!

More homes for Tiddington have beenv oted through. Frankly, I don't buy the traffic argument; traffic only ever builds up (slightly) on Main Street occasionally as people don't realise that 2 cars can still pass each other past the parked vehicles outside the Spar shop: http://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/campaigners-lose-fight-to-stop-developers-building-on-tiddington-fields-9022/

Great; it looks like Stratford district is going to be lumbered with another 2,000 houses: http://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/2000-coventry-homes-set-for-stratford-district-9032/

The elephant in the room here is immigration. We're bursting at the seams; we can't cope with what we have, yet the idiots we elect refuse to do anything about it.

Warwickshire might as well join the West Midlands Combined Authority; the county's becoming a suburb of Coventry http://www.warwickcourier.co.uk/news/7-000-houses-from-coventry-set-to-be-built-outside-kenilworth-1-7039556

I've merged all the housing development threads, so the subject can be discussed in one place.

Isn't that nice! I hope you love the over-spill that our imbecilic council agreed to take on. I hope that you make Coventry Council pay properly!

Haha! It's great that our greenbelt's being used for such a brilliantly thought out scheme; of course we won't ask for payment - it's our honour!

In a way, it's good that the 100-home development has been turned down, but the 30 home development will basically be an estate of hugely expensive homes, at that'll be the only way the builders will make their money: http://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/plans-for-30-homes-in-tiddington-set-to-be-given-green-light-9636/

If approved, this and future development will put the kibosh on the Bulldog Bash, Global Gathering and the regular drag racing events at Long Marston airfield: http://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/400-homes-long-marston-airfield-recommended-approval/

Do they still race at Long Marston? I used to race there in the 70s.

Is the air 'museum' still there? The aircraft were in a pretty poor state when I last looked.
