We have been building on green belt longer than we have had small boats crossing.
That is true. I said immigration. Not boats.
Because many housing estates were not built for cars, or were built for smaller cars.
Also laziness. I have seen cars parked on the pavement where there is absolutely no need to do so.
This is true.
Its like the bath at my Mum and Dad's house.
It was only designed for one person.
However I had 4 brothers, and at one stage we could all squeeze into that bath.
Mum and dad stopped having children.
As life went by, that bath become too small for 5 young boys.
By the time we hit out mid twenties, we had to bath separately.
We wasn't getting another bath or a bigger one.
Lack of investment by successive Governments.
So true. But this country is still a very small island.
For example, look at the road network. Motorways for example. Many "finished" motorways are cut down examples of the original plans.
Yes poor planning and investment
The M25 is a classic example. The plan started off as 4 ring roads circling London and its environs.
Poor hindsight, but no one thought immigration would hit these numbers. And the cheek of these foreigners wanting to drive.
Governments in their wisdom cut back on the schemes. Some bits of road were built.
But only one circular road made it to completion.
I think ultimately we can put it all down to governments living in the land of Jack.
