Although the latest census figures once and for all tells the country exactly what the Labour party did to this country, they are vastly understated. Amazingky all 3 main political parties and the national media have said virtually nothing. They all know the truth but just cannot bring themselves to say it. A generation of children screwed by the Labour party.
With the building of over 20000 new homes in Borough the population could rise by 60000 plus in the next decade. Can our infrastructure cope with this and the new Port – not a chance in hell!
Our infrastructure is already creaking at the seams with the the amount of people in the borough already, if no investment is made in the infrastructure along with the new housing then we are all doomed
The full figures for Thurrock should confirm what is visible on the ground.
Use the Brownfield sites for industry our borough does not have the infrastructure for more people especially when existing residents need homes and jobs.
