I have had a quick squint at this, and it looks to me as though Preston is preparing to position itself at the front of the queue for handouts when the County Council is eventually disbanded, expecting everywhere else to become merely a dormitory to serve it's sprawling growth.

Why do these things have to be written in such an appallingly patronising style?

So there we have it folk's, don't worry about the future, Ambition Lancashire has made all the decisions for you. In Twenty years time we will all be looking down on the South East and thumbing our noses at them from the security of our high density inclusive community developments, safe in the knowledge that we have left fifty years of industrial decline behind us and we can walk bravely forward into cloud cuckoo land.

I suppose that there do have to be plans in place to develop the county, but really, the 'Vision' of Lancashire presented here has about as much to do with reality as any of the five year plans set forward by the Central Committee of Soviet Russia.
