His first stop off was at a small green field site next to The Drift in Keston, where a planning application to shoe-horn 74(!) new houses had been recently rejected by an appeal inspector (yay!), highlighting the pressure the Green Belt is under from both Livingstone’s and the Government’s unrealistic housebuilding targets. (Bromley has more green belt than any other borough.)
Then on to Hayes and Coney Hall ward (aka God’s Own Country) for a quick walkabout in Station Approach. Dear old Boris still introduces himself to everyone, even though the response is often “I know you! No, I’ve met you before” “You may have seen me on the telly”. “No, I’ve definitely met you somewhere before”.
Anyway, a useful warm-up for the South-East London hustings tonight. (Sadly, I’ll be in Croydon on Council business, but I’m sure we can rely on James to fill us in.)
