Default Re: The countryside and its problems

I know Fenland quite well. Wisbech, Chatteris, March etc. Perhaps it could be called SE-England but I wouldn't call it that. East-Anglia or East-Midlands rather. To me SE is London, Kent, Essex, Surrey, Hertfordshire. But that is not important, just a matter of definition.

A lot of city-dwellers have their second homes, or weekend-homes, in the countryside. That has had some undesirable effects on the housing-markets as in some parts of the country the locals can't afford to buy a house in their home-region because the city-dwellers have pushed up the prices too high. That is especially the case in Cornwall.
