Little London: village with link to 1665 plague fears new exodus from capital
Briefly

We have got this sign that says: Welcome to Little London.' We were going to put a sign underneath it and say: Twinned with Greater London.' Donner and other villagers are united against overdevelopment, focusing on protecting the rural landscape and lack of infrastructure. They emphasize the village's historical significance and limited housing.
There's quite a few of us that are getting together and we have met up and come up with ideas and things we need to do. None of them are what we call nimby, they are people that have their heart and soul in the countryside and want to protect that. Villagers collaborate to resist the influx, prioritizing the preservation of the countryside over accommodating new residents. They reject the label of NIMBY and focus on genuine concern for the environment.
It's just ridiculous. There's no infrastructure, even if you thought you could build affordable houses, it's not the right place for them. It's greed over need and it's the wrong houses in the wrong place. Residents criticize the proposed developments as unsuitable due to lack of amenities and infrastructure. They perceive the situation as prioritizing profit over the community's well-being.
