The real reason for building on greenbelt

From reading last week’s Advertiser, Cllr Hilton states that the council is at least £200m in debt but they are not concerned because capital receipts far outweigh the debt.

The main capital receipts will be from Maidenhead Golf Course, which is in the greenbelt, and building on greenbelt land is counter to Conservative National and Local Policy. No mention of all the flats having been built on the site of the old Town Hall car park or on the old offices in York Road next to the library.

Something has gone badly wrong with the council finances, and their only solution is to build on Maidenhead Golf Course.

This is the real reason why they have been so desperate to buy the golf course –

to cover the horrific debts they have built up.
