The Price of Success?
Britain's South East is beginning to boom. In a crescent around London, new business parks and housing estates are fast expanding. But as house prices spiral and skill shortages grow, many who have so far admired the results of a free market economy are beginning to protest at its effects.
Do the Home Counties need planning constraints to preserve what green is left and to close the widening gap between North and South?
Or will the South East inevitably float away from the rest of Britain?
David Lomax reports from his home county of Berkshire - where the environmental battle is fiercest - visits the latest enterprise zone in Scotland and talks to
Environment Minister, the Rt Hon Nicholas Ridley , mp, and the Rt Hon
Michael Heseltine , MP about their conflicting views of how the heat of the South East should be conducted to those who have been left out in the cold. Producer SARAH MANWARING WHITE Editor TIM GARDAM
