With breathtaking arrogance, David Cameron's team have urged Tory councils like our own at South Kesteven to block the building of new homes while Gordon Brown is in Downing Street.
I first saw this story in a local paper, the Enfield Independent a couple of days ago.
The story claimed to expose a letter apparently sent by Caroline Spelman advising councils to stall major home projects until they win power!
I could hardly believe that a party that aspires to govern could actually use political dogma to prevent councils getting people off housing waiting lists, so thought I'd check out the facts before posting.
Under the headline Tory Leaders told to delay property developments, the reputable Local Government Chronicle confirms that the letter was in fact sent by Ms Spelman:
It seems the Mirror has also been checking out the story before saying today that the arrogant letter shows the tories are not fit to govern.
Same old Tories, eh?
