Why, when we are overrun with empty office spaces and shops to buy and let, does Brighton and Hove City Council insist we need still more?

Don Turner should be fighting to preserve the only green space left between Portslade and Fishersgate.

Would it not be more sensible to encourage more people to grow their own vegetables in the unused allotment spaces or turn them into parks for the local residents to enjoy rather than provide once more for the over-greedy developer?

One wonders whose side Councillor Turner is on.
