England is an overcrowded country, right? The 3rd or 4th or something, most densely populated in the world. After Hong Kong, Barbados, Holland ...
So just get on the train from London to Manchester. See how overcrowded it is? Hardly a square inch not built over
Dont spoil our country. Its meant to be green. Build on the brown bits
Build 3 or 4 storey town houses, in terraces, on any piece of spare land in our villages. Or blocks of flats. Turn them into suburbs
Then just watch how easy it is for families to survive such cramped conditions. Mum & Dad working all hours to pay the mortgage on a box, Especially when its overflowing with teenagers
I am passionate about the Peak District. I was born here, feel safe embraced by the hills. I revel in the walks, the vaulting sky, the limestone scars, the darker grits
But I can see loads of places which would be enhanced by new small towns. Just like the ones they built in the C19th
Leave the old villagers space to breathe
