I am pleased squatters have moved into offices

I WAS extremely pleased to see that squatters have taken over vacant offices above shops in Chapel Road, Worthing.

Read the story about squatters moving into offices in Chapel Road, here.

Throughout the town centre, offices and store rooms like these have been vacant for years serving no practical use to society when we are constantly being reminded by both the government and local councils that we urgently need more homes in the area and we have to destroy ancient woodland in Durrington to achieve this.

Decades ago, many of these would have been housing.

Perhaps it's time that we looked upwards and developed what we already have rather than trashing the countryside.
