Letter: What About Some Alternative Thinking?
Published on: 1 Jun, 2016

From Neil Langridge
Are politicians and officials ever able to consider quality of life in non-economic terms?
Endless growth, building and expansion in the pursuit of money and profit continually dictates policy against a bigger perspective of the community and environment.
Are they capable of any alternative thinking?

Wouldn’t it be good if they could.
Sadly it is a Utopian dream I think. We are fodder to the national debt.
I read somewhere in GL Hearn’s literature their vision for the ‘mega city’. I wonder if people living in Guildford town realise that the proposed green belt developments in Woking and Guildford Boroughs will effectively join the town up with with Woking.
If residents want to live in a continually expanding and ever more urbanised suburb of London this is the way forward for them. I doubt many do.

I think that the simple answer is “no” for the current lot.
