I cannot understand why they want to build more units when there are units on estates all around the Medway area that have been empty for years !!
My theory is that the answer is simpler and more insidious than mere rents. It is called "kick-back". Town councellors are all effing Free Masons (well enough to make it matter) and are in for a secure future in business if they tow the line.
I wish the Labour government had the guts to follow through on a bill requiring all Masons to make themselves known. Of course that got well and truely scuttled along the way.
