“We live on a planet of finite resources and land so we can’t forever keep ‘growing’. I for one, do not want to live in a world where my children have no access to the countryside because there is simply none left. I do not want my children to live in a world where the air is so polluted they suffer with asthma and other chronic health conditions. Wake up Councillor Derbyshire…we need to think long term here and stop concentrating on get rich quick short-term ‘growth’ schemes like building more roads and expanding airport capacity; and instead start investing in genuine sustainability that brings long term prosperity over short-term ‘growth’. Your failure to grasp this reality makes you unsuitable to call yourself a ‘leader’. Time to go.”
