How can we cope with more homes? (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

How can we cope with more homes?

I RECENTLY had through the post, a request from Thames Water to be economical with my water this summer, or restrictions would have to be applied.

As this council via Mr Prescott's instructions wants to increase the number of new houses in this area by thousands, I ask again: where is the extra water coming from? We have barely enough for the town as it is at this size. Over and over again by petition and letters that are ignored, we have shown that we do not want any more houses built on the green belt around this town.

There is plenty of space within the town for this university to be placed. It does not have to be at Coate Water.

As Dr Lister pointed out in Friday's paper, we will need a massive expansion of the hospital to cope with the increase of the town's population as it stands, as we are only up to the capacity at the time of PMH's shutdown. We do not need any more houses! Listen to us!
