If you look on the map between edenthorpe and armthorpe where the link road goes is all fields. In 5 years that will all be housing.Places like Wheatley hall road are perfect for housing (though it does mean yet more traffic lights). I'd also wonder why we aren't building upwards a little more to save our green spaces?Quite right bfyp.The land on both sides of that link road from Sainsbury’s to the M18 has approved plans for development.The new link road from the services at J5 that goes into Stainforth is also earmarked for industrial development and housing.All that land was greenfield and woodland.

Look inwards Wilts, for five years you re moaners have enthused the EU to raise every obstacle in the UK's way and cheered on here when they have done it showing your true colours to have a reasonable and equal standing separation from the EU, and you are still doing it. Shame on you and your kind, not accepting a democratic vote and accepting the result, it spoilt your Champaign for Remain party that night and you still haven't got over it. The EU will pay in the near future, with a big economic hit, and more countries moving away from the cartel.

Wilts, have you ever pondered the reason why you and people with the same opinion as you never win anything?

I’m guessing you friend is a showman?

We have removed some posts from this thread and will continue to do so where we feel posters are resorting to personal slanging matches. Thanks.
This is a long thread but it sums up perfectly the NI situation. How peace came. Who was virulently against the GFA (plot spoiler - Michael Gove). Why and how Brexit has destabilised peace. Why it is going to be damned hard to out the violence genie back in the bottle.https://mobile.twitter.com/t0nyyates/status/1380067048491978755

Nationalist/Republicans voted 80-20 to remain while Loyalist/Unionists voted 60-40 to leave. Some of those 60% Unionists would automatically vote against whatever Republicans want, and but the 'enlightened' 40% were enough to give an overall majority for remain.

I can't see this ending well either way.Agree that Arlene Foster sometimes morphs into Paisley with her wailing...
