Money should be for the town
I was interested to read in your front page article, 'A £100m jackpot' (Daventry Express, April 24), that Daventry District Council (DDC) is likely to receive around £100 million to spend on the infrastructure of the town to support the needs of the 6,000 new homes scheduled to be built there.
However, bearing in mind that the majority of the members of the DDC live in, and represent, the surrounding villages and that this majority was used to block the building of any of the new homes in their sacred villages, I wonder whether this majority will be able to siphon off much of this £100 million to improve the facilities in the aforementioned villages?
There should not be any increased spending on the villages' infrastructure as a result of this extra £100 million but I wouldn't bet on it!
