This plan is not sound.

It fails to take into account a lot of important factors that must be considered when creating new homes. Will there be more schools, medical centres, shops, pharmacies, public transport, areas for children to play and roads to cope with the influx of people and cars? If schools and medical centres are put in place, will there be enough doctors and teachers to work in new establishments? Traffic getting to the centre of Warrington can already be ridiculous at busier times of the day, I dread to think of how much worse it will be and the pollution that will bring.

Also with all the talk on the importance of preventing climate change, preserving the environment and reducing pollution, it seems absurd to be proposing thousands of large houses on green belt land. Currently there is a lot of talk about the climate due to COP26 and to me, the fact that the government is still even considering large housing projects on greenbelt proves that they don't actually care about the environment at all.

Lastly, with housing prices increasing and wages largely staying the same, it is unrealistic to expect large amounts of people to be able to afford large houses in the suburbs. I'm a 21 year old university student and nearly everybody I know of my age are still living with parents and have no plans of moving out any time in the foreseeable future because we simply could not afford it.
