Comment on Keir Starmer: I won't build homes without GPs and schools

  My local conservative council has done the same. No new services, no bus route or transport, no local shops, just the cheapest way for developers to maximise their profit and shove more cars on the already overfilled roads

  They spent the entire time complaining that they were forced to by central government, and their hands were tied. I'm extremely pro new housing but it just makes me sad when they build these soulless empty estates with tiny streets that end up jammed with parked cars (because no transport and driveways take up space that could be used to sell more houses), with naught but maybe a small co-op if the developers were feeling generous.
