    Bloke ramping jobs creation.
    Has to be environmentally sustainable.
    Can't bulldoze houses and tell them we don't care.

    Compulsory purchase + demolish.

    Cue: couple of women up the church tower pointing to where it will be.

    Cue: hippies drumming

    It's cheaper than a 4-pack of Stella and sitting down the bus shelter. Also, while that's OK for teenagers, there's nowhere for us oldies to do that :) I'd be arrested for something if I tried that.

    It HAS to be the TV!

    Thanks PN - I was wondering whether I should watch this to be informed. Seems not.

    I'm about to go watch it on iPlayer/whatever, if it's available.

    There was some more interesting stuff later. Some bloke who was asked to demolish his house.

    And another bit where somebody in a conservation area felt he was overlooked by neighbours in his 2nd floor flat with terrace (he was imho) ... so he bunged up a fence round it, which then got complained about ... and subsequently PP was denied.

    It looked like it had some amusing/entertaining moments, but I got distracted from the programme at the time.

    We saw some of it. villagers somewhere getting terribly excited about 3 wind turbines on farmland.

    I think they are rather beautiful.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    That could be us! In the next few weeks we will be determining whether to grant permission for a wind farm about 2 miles away. Very emotional subject, wind farms.
