Steve Batkin -Saturday. 31.8.2019: Greed And Stupidity Ensures The Horror Story Continues! Stoke-on-Trent's Population Growth: houses, roads etc. Above image is a contingent of Stoke-on-Trent City Council (Staffordshire, England) representatives working in conjunction with private business representatives on development projects in the city of Stoke-on-Trent: houses, multi story flats, roads, large car parking areas, shops etc. There are currently several urban projects underway in the city of Stoke-on-Trent which is a large conurbation because it's sitting right next to the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme with no green space separating the two built up areas of city and town. With years of continuous mass immigration and population growth in the city of Stoke-on-Trent and its Siamese twin the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme this means every available green belt site no matter how small is under scrutiny for housing development. Unfortunately the horror story does not stop there because between them they are now developing or planning housing projects on the outskirts of the large conurbation. Although the city and the town have separate local authorities this's only cosmetic with the city and the town singing from exactly the same political establishment hymn sheet: 'democracy' is somewhere in the ether! Anyway 'progress' is underway and the remorseless urbanisation of the British countryside is clearly carved in stone. All we can do is feel sorry for future generations of people who're going to have to suffer the consequences of present greed and selfishness: destruction of green belt, trees, heritage, culture, rising crime, knife crime, air pollution, not even anywhere to take the dog for a walk!
