@russellcurtis
Judging by what I have seen of Fairview Homes’ work recently the buildings and landscape will be very poor quality in delivery but perhaps some of that responsibility lies with the LPA…?
I’m asking for your support to restand as a Labour candidate in next year’s

Scruton’s abhorrent views were known when he was hired... are we meant to be surprised he has now been fired because of them? I hope the next
@mhclg
appointment for his replacement is better judged!
