In 2014, David Cameron (Cunt – NA) gave the go ahead to dual (widen) 13 miles of the A1.
For Felicity and James Hester, Melanie and Julien Wesby-Scott ( don’t hate them because they are double barrelled) and Martin Beal, this meant that their homes would have to be demolished to make way.
The scheme was stalled for years, but in 2024 Rishi (Cunt – NA) gave the go ahead
Here’s the kicker.
Unfortunately, the new Labour Government cancelled the project in October 2024, as they couldn’t allow schemes that were ” not already fully funded” to go ahead, after £68m has already been spent.
WHAT THE HELL?
The Hesters, unable to find a suitable property with room for a paddock, stables, etc. have relocated to Cumbria.
Melanie and Julien moved in 2019, after 10 years and much money modernising their home.
The Beals, whose farmhouse had been a family home since 1904 ( yes, 120 years), have now obtained planning permission to build a new farmhouse, after numerous delays in receiving compensation.
Under the Critchel Down rulings, the people are offered the opportunity to buy the property back, but as they have been empty for years, all have said no thanks.
So, £68m, plus £30k monthly paid for insurance and council tax ( with a premium for an empty property) paid by National Highways, plus £100k for the demolition of the Beals old farmhouse.
Sounds like a bargain.
