it has to be accurate? If 300,000 people more live in a country each year they have to have somewhere to live?

I get that and agree but equally the fact that council estates are being inundated with migrants are putting pressure on local facilities for people who have been paying in the system all their lives like my mother. Take a trip to Langley it will open your eyes.Not sure that's accurate to be honest boss.
Selling off council houses and not building any might be though.

Lots of people die and move out too......?it has to be accurate? If 300,000 people more live in a country each year they have to have somewhere to live?
What are NET migration figures? 270,000 in?
Whatever we need to build more houses. Not just for profit.
For years there have been housing shortages.
Migration Statistics Quarterly Report - Office for National Statistics
Immigration to the UK and emigration from the UK, including net migration (the difference between immigration and emigration).

It's a complicated issue.

Yeah no problem. I'm one of those who acknowledges the City of Salford being it's own thing. I work with a lot of student who rent in Salford who seem to think it's just a district of Manchester, you see. I'm astonished that they don't see the significant difference that two cities can be 1 mile apart from each other.Lol,no worries mate.

No shame in being a Salford Blue, especially when you consider we have Scottish Blues, Welsh Blues, Australian and American Blues. :)

The Major did the thing local authority councilors do far too much. He bowed to misinformed public opinion. instead of educating his electorate and fully explaining that the only bits to be built on would be the areas already developed and derelict. and that there wasnt an alternative proposal to renovate the mansion. The problem of the derelict mansion and lack of housing will just be passed on to the next major.Yeah, I didn’t really get that or the mayor of Salford either. the plan seemed a reasonable compromise. Building affordable homes on derelict land and in return pump some of the profit into refurbishing the mansion that was derelict. Everyone’s a winner surely.

Thats an interesting inside take. I guessed the funding situation.He has not got a pot to piss in and is clueless. His new apartments next to the mill conversion has sold 9 of the 75 units and it is finished. The spec is poor and build quality not good. The mill is 3 million over budget and was due to be completed September 19 and is now forcast to be 2 years late. It is not his money. He is a front for a high net worth individual. And the lines he is spouting are just utter cringe.

Always better to be a Salford Blue and the wretched alternative.
