It seems incredible that in the 21st century we could be in a situation where we literally do not have enough electricity to supply the thousands of homes and businesses in our region.

But it appears to be true.

It shouldn't really come as a surprise. The effect on the infrastructure of Aylesbury Vale has been the focus of this newspaper's recent campaigns against additional housing growth.

It really does seem like enough is enough, as we declared last week.
It's not just electricity that will be affected, it's other basic utilities such as water, which could potentially be in short supply without drastic investment.

Then it's back to the same old question – who is going to pay for it?
It looks increasingly less likely to be the Government, so then the onus will fall on developers.

Will they really want to spend millions of pounds on infrastructure? We will continue to campaign on your behalf at the highest level.

THE comments of Aylesbury Vale District Council's cabinet member for resources, Huw Lewis, will no doubt incense many of those people concerned about the demolition of some of Aylesbury's most historic buildings.

There is much change taking place in this town, with the majority of it being for the benefit of those living and working in town.

But to express amazement that discussions on possible demolition of historic institutions such as the Ship and rows of trees and open spaces were still on-going could be seen as insensitive, and not the way to win hearts and minds.
