🚨 Essex County Council has admitted the East Colchester development will worsen traffic - but no solutions have been identified. 2,000 homes: 3,000–4,000 extra cars, more flooding risk, longer journey times, no road or drainage upgrades planned We deserve better! #No2000Houses

A 1sqkm 28m high converter station plonked right next to an SSSI on marshland and drilled through a National Nature Reserve and precious salt marsh. Why are we letting private companies destroy our British countryside for profit? #saveminstermarshes #NoToNationalGrid

But you said, "Local people... should decide what's best for where they live."
I will stop councils unreasonably blocking housing developments and putting home ownership further out of your reach. This Government will build baby build.
