On the eleventh day of Christmas my council gave to me1100 Truro houses (not forgetting 400 more. Oh, and another 1,100 on top of that right next door)*..................................................................................
Ten developers
Nine brave councillors
Eight top consultants
Seven % second homes
Six useless MPs
Five eco-villages
Four supermarkets
Three point four million pounds for an airport
Two Truro park and ridesAnd a stadium [not] entirely for free
* Oh dear. It appears that, although ignored by 16,000 supporters and many Cornish nationalists, the stadium near Truro isn’t free after all.
It turns out it comes with 1,500 houses attached, part of a bigger plan for a bloody great suburb of 2,600 houses west of Treliske. Seems that the developers have been cosily chatting to Cornwall’s planners for over a year. They get the houses; the council gets the land for the stadium.
The stadium legitimates the suburb. And no-one seems to have noticed. Or if they have, they don't mind in the least.
