I
attended the JeCC meeting yesterday. I went with the idea that the
construction industry is the island's biggest enemy but should be
our greatest friend. It is our greatest enemy because it just wants
to build and build and build until there is nowhere to build any
more. That will mean no more green spaces left. It could be our
biggest ally by reconditioning our existing environment to make it
fit our modern needs better. For example, it could champion the use
of fritt as a way of cutting down heating bills.
Now
I raised that with them 10 years ago at a similar meeting. So much
fritt is there in the island? Not a single piece.
I
came away from the meeting convinced that it is a fight for survival
- it is either us or the construction industry
Well,
I vote us.
