What is a recent controversial development / construction in your area?
Q. What is a recent controversial construction / development in you area? Hey, I'm doing an assignment on local planning controversies, which means any new development / construction or laws such as new parking restriction placed in your area. I am choosing to find a recent controversy from overseas, so if you have heard anything on the news, in your newspaper about a new development such as a major highway or anything that is causing civilian protest please POST as much as you can here. If you can, find news articles online or even have a search in your local newspaper or news site. Cheers.

A. Do abit of research into rossendale, Lancashire.

A. I can just tell you, and it's100% historically accurate. Puritans were very intolerant to other religions. So when they established the Mass. Bay Colony in 1629, it was a strictly religious commonwealth. Only the converted Puritans (there dubbed Congregationalists) had any rights. They were called "visible saints" and the males were able to vote and even hold public discussions and debates. HOWEVER, other religious groups such as the Quakers were harshly persecuted with fines, floggings, and even in some cases DEATH! So the religious dissenters fled the colony; or were exiled. Such radical non-Puritan official, Roger Williams, was banished, and created the colony of Rhode Island, which became the most democratic and independent New… [cont.]
