How true... halve the work opportunities in London and the surrounding areas and move the jobs elsewhere.... No not NIMBY'ism, equal opportunity!!

Let's all just stop having children and over-populating the world, then we won't need so many houses.
...and before you all say "but who'll pay for the health care of the ageing population?", well it won't matter because we'll send them all to the 'Sleepshop' at age 30. (I get all my population control ideas from Science Fiction. Logan's Run is my current favourite.) |

You have to stop copulating to stop populating......

Condoms should be used on every conceivable occasion. |

No, in my Sci-Fi based master plan we can use them for Soylent Green. (We're not doing Soylent Yellow though, I don't like Chinese food). |

I totally agree slowhand. People have to live somewhere and the youth of the village are being squeezed out by high property prices and lack of space. I have seen neighbours' children having to move to Slough, Watford or Uxbridge because there are no affordable homes in Chalfont Saint Peter. Schools are desperate for intake and the last two years reception classes have had less than half capacity, in some schools.
I too don't understand people's attiitudes of NIMBYism, if it were their childen who were being forced out, I wonder how they would be reacting then?

I wish people had moaned / or been listened to about the development in the 60's then we wouldn't have the 'precinct'. Look at the old pictures - I'd rather live in a village looking like that. As mentioned by others the infrastructure is already at breaking point in Chalfont especially schools and roads. There are plenty of brown field sites in the country so why not use them first. Otherwise we will be the London Borough of Chalfont soon. Nothing to do with Nimbyism.

There is quite a bit of affordable housing in the village, including I believe an area on Chiltern Heights for ex-sevice personnel.
The precinct is ugly, but at least it serves a purpose. It could have been so much nicer though if people cared about the impact on an area before building. Take that new factory/offices being built in the village, why couldn't that have been affordable housing? Then Holy Cross could have remained a school. |

Development had nothing to do with the closure of Holy Cross. That was down to bad fiscal management. Where is this affordable housing? I am sure there many young people in the village who would like to know. If there is any, there is nowhere near enough, because young people are leaving the village in their droves, because they can't afford to live here. Housing for ex-servicemen in Chalfont Heights is not going to solve the shortage of low cost housing in the area. Isn't Holy Cross and Newlands Park brownfield anyway? |
