General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

The government says Greater Manchester has to provide 210,000 newhomes by 2037 . That's 21,000 new homes in each borough. So, they'l lhave to put them somewhere!

The government have also told all local authorities that they have to utilise 'town centres', which is why Wigan town centre is being desecrated.
Also, the project contains a directive that all town centre parking has to be reduced as part of the package, but only if the area has a good public transport hub.

If you look at the past ten years development, re: railways, bus stations, bus only lanes, cycle paths etc., it all falls into place.

The big question is - "where are all the people going to come from, to live in the 210,000 new homes"? (and we all know the answer to that one, don't we, eh.?)
