Keir Starmer: I won’t build homes without GPs and schools
Chuckles in Starmer. I won’t build homes at all kek!
He should let Welsh Labour know about his plans, they’ve been allowing houses without services for years…
The countdown starts to the headline: “Labour supporting 15 minute cities!”
I mean, yeah. New housing is important, but if we’re going to do it correctly then we need to ensure infrastructure is in place to support those new housing estates and that the locals have access to good quality schools and GPs and the like.
The local Labour Council has done just this in my home town
My local conservative council has done the same. No new services, no bus route or transport, no local shops, just the cheapest way for developers to maximise their profit and shove more cars on the already overfilled roads
They spent the entire time complaining that they were forced to by central government, and their hands were tied. I’m extremely pro new housing but it just makes me sad when they build these soulless empty estates with tiny streets that end up jammed with parked cars (because no transport and driveways take up space that could be used to sell more houses), with naught but maybe a small co-op if the developers were feeling generous.
