Concerns won’t stop developers

The fact that Barbara Cooper, the county’s corporate director for transport, stated that development in the area of the A229 Loose Road and the A274 Sutton Road will lead to an unacceptably severe impact to the local highway network does not alter anything — it has already happened.

Who let it happen? Kent County Council Highways, who she represents. You do not have to be a corporate director to realise those facts – just live in and around those areas.

So will this new revelation kill off the plan to build houses on the school grounds in Boughton Lane? I doubt that, because the fact that the KCC Highways is saying that there should be no more building in that area is contrary to the people who desperately want to sell the land.

Collusion between all involved will ensure the well-meaning comments of Ms Cooper are swept under the carpet. Bruce Ditcher, Loose
