In this week’s Nimby Watch I pitch a movie idea: a rag-tag plucky gang of developers fighting to build huge studio spaces against an entrenched mob of local villagers and politicians.
Problem is, we probably can’t film it in Britain. capx.co/holyport-can...

F-T Virginia Water 6 Holyport 1
Second half goals from Mills, Davies and brace from Goody for the hosts, with Bailey scoring the visitors only goal gave Virginia Water a convincing win. Holyport well below par but several quality goals from Waters today. #NonLeague #grassroots

Nimby Watch: Filming movies and prestige TV is one of the UK’s few growth industries, and the Labour Government is rethinking the sacrosanct status of the ‘green belt’ … but we're still refusing new studios, of course.

good grief I was writing about planning rows and film studios in Bray and Holyport for the Maidenhead Advertiser nearly 40 years ago. The developers *never* win against Windsor & Maidenhead council.

'There is likely to be sufficient capacity within existing studio space for the industry for the immediate future' - Minister of State for Housing/Planning
A government with no plans to innovate, or think ahead. Once again like every Tory government of the last decade.

-Ahh Polo, the sport of the common man. I remember my first game in primary school. We used Shetland ponies back then, they're feisty wee buggers but fast. Of course we only played 5 a- sides then on smaller pitches-
