LETTER: Hard choices and an easy decicion
The Gang of Four in fact had a very easy decision to make as Cllr Peter Burgess revealed in March 2014, that no houses were built in the ‘Deep South’ (i.e. anything south of the A272).
In June 2013, Cllrs Ray Dawe, Helena Croft, Claire Vickers and Jim Rae moved all the houses into the Strategic Gap and added the white elephant of an industrial and warehouse park for good measure, rather than spreading the houses around the district. This was to ensure that the Tory wards in the south weren’t at risk of being lost at the election.
