Maldon district: 'We must grow to stay the same' claims councillor

The shocking figures, based on the value of the district’s goods and services (gross value added), were detailed in the independent Heart of Essex: Economic Futures Study 2012.
Miss Lewis has spoken in favour of Maldon District Council’s local development plan, which includes a proposal for 3,500 homes throughout the district, because without it she believes the economy will worsen.
