1) Why should cost not form part of the consideration, after all the money
will have to come from somewhere, in this instance most likely the local
taxpayers pocket.

2) Why should be people not have to put up with the temporary
inconvenience
that improvements cause?

As was suggested before, NIMBYISM.

Interesting that we never hear of NIMBYISM when housing estates are expanded
out of town to engulf commercial properties that were previously remote,
subsequently leading to the businesses having to either close down or
relocate due to hostility of the new neighbours. ;-))

What assurances will Metronet receive that, if they do incur additional
expenditure by locating further away from Croxley Green, the local council
will not then plan a new housing estate for sometime in the next twenty
years that will *still* result in the depot being surrounded by residential
properties?
