Strange I seem to remember four or five tower blocks in Oliver close which where all knocked down for new housing,could we class this new planning as retro ?
Yep rough as old boots.Orientinoz wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 6:40 am Looks like James Dixon Tower in Boundary Road where I used to live many moons ago...Just what Leyton needs another ghetto..
I stopped reading that link after that the billet points. The council are just building or are allowing building just about everywhere and anywhere within the borough. They are not thinking about schools, doctors, roads, pollution, overcrowding or afforadability. It’s seems like it’s “there’s a space build on it now”tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:37 pm It seems the council is trying to create new housing.
Even the Town Hall building is up for redevelopment
Be No good for a male over 25 though.

This is happening everywhere. Where I live every spare bit of land on the edge of town is being built on. Problem is, all the houses are 15 minutes' walk from the town centre, so mummy will have to load little Joffrey into the car every time they want to visit the doctor, Tesco or have their tattoos done. It's a medieval town centre which won't be able to cope.Thor wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 5:15 pmI stopped reading that link after that the billet points.

Blame the morons on WFC who have completely fecked up the roads around Leyton.Thor wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 5:52 pm I don’t deny that tuffers, and you’re right it won’t be aimed at people that need it, only for people who can get a mortgage. On top of that local services will struggle to accommodate more people, the roads are heaving already, mid afternoon it took me 35 mins to go from James Street to Church Road, that’s ridiculous. Two years ago that was a 5 min trip and it’s getting worse. Pollution is off the scale or at least I’m told it is and it’s no wonder as all the cars are forced down a few main roads when trying to get around the borough. It’s crazy.
So don’t blame people who have bought cars etc it’s all the councils faultDisoriented wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 6:25 pmBlame the morons on WFC who have completely fecked up the roads around Leyton.Thor wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 5:52 pm I don’t deny that tuffers, and you’re right it won’t be aimed at people that need it, only for people who can get a mortgage.

Time to revert back.
People need to live somewhere; for the most part they don't need to drive. The bus from walthamstow to Leyton takes 10-15 minutes on a week night, as much as 40 on a weekend cause of all the motorists.Thor wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 5:52 pm I don’t deny that tuffers, and you’re right it won’t be aimed at people that need it, only for people who can get a mortgage.
