From time to time I come across sites where digs are necessary, when speaking to the diggers it is obvious that they are not in it for the poor pay they receive, the working conditions are horrendous but they have passion.
From what I can gather, Alan Melton does not represent the views of the majority my colleagues in the construction industry or the inhabitants of the Fens. It begs the question, whose ideals does he represent?
Has he seen the poll carried out by http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/development_...r_1_929730
I am sure Eric Pickles will give him a pat on the back!
Its good to hear that Alan Melton's views are not supported by other groups. Kudos to Mike Heyworth on the interview, it was well argued and no childish name calling. I really hope someone didn't tell Alan Melton to 'go to hell' as he stated during the interview, it seems the majority of correspondence sent to him was not insulting but well argued and clearly written points of view. Will the planning laws actually be relaxed in three days time, or has there been a backtrack? (I may have missed it earlier in the thread although I did have a look)
And has anyone actually tried hugging a bunny? They are immensely squirmy and I tend to not hold on to them very long...
