PORRIDGE EXTRA - The Political Economy of Bat Tunnels (from the Battle For Hamble)

from Blain's Morning Porridge · host Bill Blain

THE BATTLE FOR HAMBLEI am delighted to announce the launch of a new book – The Battle For Hamble.It’s an in-depth look at the Hamble Gravel Quarry, an example of everything that is wrong with Broken Britain’s inept planning process, bureaucracy, and how greedy corporates arbitrage the system to their own ends. I’ve written about the quarry many times in the Morning Porridge.This morning I thought I would share a sample from the book - this is an edited couple of pages from the chapter on The Planning Bureaucracy.You can order the Book online: https://www.amazon.com/Battle-Hamble-Corporate-Illiteracy-Hampshire/dp/1036951251ThanksBill Blain
