THE authorities have got the decision on the direction of Aylesbury's housing growth wrong and should have chosen the south instead of the east.
That's the verdict of our latest online poll which saw record numbers of users voting on our popular website.

Following on from articles appearing in The Bucks Herald about the council choosing the east of Aylesbury for housing growth, we asked visitors to our site if they agreed with the decision.

A resounding majority of the 980 people voting said 'No, it should have been the south' with 58 per cent (496 votes) choosing that option. The second highest vote said the decision was the correct one with 29 per cent (256 people) choosing 'Yes'.

Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, just nine per cent (89 votes) of voters agreed that 'We shouldn't be building new homes anywhere in Aylesbury' while four per cent (46 votes) of people taking part said they simply 'Didn't care'.

The council have got the decision wrong and it is a complete disgrace. The south was given the go ahead ages ago and just how the council can u-turn so quickly with no justification is amazing. Maybe central government should take over and plan where the developments go as at least they won't be biased or back down after a little bit of pressure by nimbys
