The disgusting news came about today that the Council are raising the rents to the Co-Op on West Street in Fareham. And they are not negotiating the terms.

Rather bloody convenient since the Council gave the go ahead to build a Tesco 50m down the road and it is almost finished.

Even more convenient that I tried to disapprove of the planning at consultation stage and was told I would have to turn up to the meeting at 10.30 in the morning on a Tuesday (or similar) - impossible for a teacher. Not only do the Council arrange for it so that no one can voice their discontent with the planning application so it can get approved, but they also rather conveniently squeeze out competition .

THIS IS DISGUSTING!
