Infrastructure

Scattered growth takes a little more of the capacity we already have, and nothing is ever built to replace it. Small sites take. Scale is what creates the obligation to build the kit.

• GPs

  We wait weeks for an appointment. Nobody is building a surgery.

• Sewage

  Our sewage works is already spilling. They want to plumb another 456,000 homes into it.

• Water

  We are on a hosepipe ban. They want to add 456,000 homes.

• Schools

  A portakabin is not a school place.

• Transport

  Haverhill has had no railway since 1967. It is getting the houses anyway.

• Energy

  They are already struggling to connect power to the grid. Then they want another 1,367,880 homes.

• Hospitals

  We don't have enough hospitals.
