3:48 And another thing. I bet the developers of the B&Q site and indeed of this one, neglect to tell the sops who are thinking of buying here that West and Central London's waste is brought to the long grey roofed building on the south bank of the Thames top left in this image. Here it is dealt with and transferred onto the big yellow barges you see going downriver all the time. Plus there's the public tip there too. Directly opposite on the north bank is a white block of a building. This is the main sewage access to the new Thames tunnel. Don't know if it has vents, but the pumping station just up river by Hammersmith Bridge certainly does. And that's just been surrounded by exactly the same anodyne appartment blocks as these places.
2:22 The thing is, people are bamboozled by the considerate constructor sounding "affordable." I bet you thought that it meant homes for housing association and council tenants. It doesn't! That's Social housing, not Affordable housing and as for affordable, the developer has a big say in how much it can choose to charge for the term Affordable!
build build build :)
These nimby societies need to be ignored. Their only goal is to keep areas exactly as is, even on abandoned industrial brownfield sites.

Nice video except for the AI voice. Odd and inconsistent accent & pronunciations sounding uncanny and too distracting.
And bit by bit the lower middle class, working class and poor are pushed out of London.
What? This is brownfield ex-industrial land.
Who is being pushed out here??
