Regional Destruction Agency: Why SWRDA would rather demolish than make sustainable

January 8th 2009

Simon Fairlie from The Land Is Ours has written an article that goes a bit deeper than most of the press coverage so far.

Quote:

"The squatters and most local people are now convinced that SWRDA’s aim is to demolish as much as possible on the site so that they can offer oven-ready brownfield sites to their friends in the development industry. They say it is typical of the duplicitous behaviour of the Regional Development Agencies which is experienced by nearly everybody who comes into contact with them and which, early in 2008, was the subject of a Radio 4 documentary."
