THE BALKANISATION OF ENGLAND
John Prescott continues to undermine local democracy and increase the power of his cherished regional assemblies, notwithstanding the rejection of regionalisation by the voters of the North East region.
This not only affects planning applications and the plans for concreting over large parts of England for Prescott’s new housing programme. It also affects his plans for traveller sites.
£8million is to be spent to create 58 new traveller sites across England. The plans also involve the refurbishment of 44 disused sites. Local councils have been ordered to identify new locations for such sites.
Local residents, whose lives are often blighted by traveller sites, remain powerless to act to prevent the desecration of their communities.
Many travellers are from Ireland and are in fact quite wealthy.
Meanwhile, local councils continue to see the unelected regional assemblies muscle in regarding house building and planning applications.
