With the current state of play, nobody is buying houses, so why not leave this land alone? I understand why the football club is keen to see this project come to fruition, but it is a greenfield development. This is a natural break between Rayne and Braintree and should be left alone. The only deveopment worth doing is a new rail link between Braintree and Stansted, so taking more vehicles off our over-conjested roads. At least where the football ground is now, it easy for locals to walk too Unfortunately, I can't see Braintree getting gates of 6,000. Even if 600 homes are built next to the stadium, I don't think they would get many extra fans, but I do expext Braintree Council would get lots more noise complaints! − zeboczulu, Braintree

Braintree: extra homes for stadium plan »

I worked in a supermarket for two years and I'm afraid I have to agree with what the supermarket chose to do. Underage drinking is a really significant bad problem at the moment and as far as the supermarket is concerned, she could be buying for her younger brother who is underage. If she has a problem with the supermarket policy, why doesn't she just go in on her own. A teenager of that age is very very likely to drink, so the supermarket is looking after itself, it's itscriminal records and liquor licence on the line. Sorry, but it's the law, deal with it.  − cat.martin, Braintree
