flapdoodle Coventry All posts by this member | 5 of 12 Sun 16th Dec 2012 12:17pm Member: Joined Nov 2010 Total posts:884 I support this, but wonder if it'll be of little benefit to Coventry. If it does manage to attract 'hi tech' jobs, the chances are that the people who earn decent salaries will live in Warwickshire. I work in a 'hi tech' company and virtually none of the staff live in the city. I'd say 3/40 of the department live locally. The rest commute from villages and towns in Warwickshire, Solihull and Birmingham! (In the meantime, Coventry's urban brownfield sites are proving impossible to redevelop for business use - so this will be another large out of town development only accessible by car and nowhere near anyone actually lives - thus making Coventry even more of a 'Donut' city!)

Ironic that Pickles is saying about the greenbelt in an area that has an airport and an industrial estate, but is supporting a trainline that will cut through swathes of much more pristine greenbelt, and supporting a 100k new town in the Meriden Gap around HS2.
While I have issues with the project re: the expected levels of jobs created (some were extremely short term and only involved during the construction phase) and the quality and level of pay of those jobs, to block it on the grounds he did is totally disingenuous. |
