Default Re: The countryside and its problems

I'm in SE England, in Fenland. In the 5 years I have lived here, it has grown exponentially, mostly with Londoners. Londoners are flocking out, because they no longer feel that they belong in London. Get on most East End buses and you will be the only white face. All have the same complaint.

Fenland, an important wildlife area, is shrinking noticeably, taken up with thousands of new homes. They are building on every available corner of land. Huge crops fields are also being given over to housing.

It's a very sad state of affairs.
