The demographics section is misleading if based on 2001 census data: owner-occupation of homes in Britain is widely reported to have fallen massively since that year (arguably due to the boom in Buy-To-Let and the increasing unaffordability of houses to first-time buyers); plus there has been substantial immigration to the UK since then, and a person aged 44 in 2001 would be 55 now.

I'm struck reading this article that it presents a very unbalanced view of this housing, business, and retail development. The Whitely development is not a town yet this article (which mostly reads like an estate agent's puffery) repeatedly refers to Whitely as a such. The area suffers significant transportation problems - isolated from the area around it, mostly dependent on a car-culture because of inherent infrastructure design (try accessing it by bicycle or on foot from the A27), and with only one major arterial road to it which has long traffic queues at peak morning and evening traffic times. |

==Churches?== |

Much of the work by its residents to establish it as a community and to improve access has been done in the face of indifference or opposition (both developers and councils), an article which includes the history of this would be welcome and offer some balance. Some details on its establishment as a parish would not be amiss. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/{{{IP|{{{User|90.196.21.102}}}}}}|{{{IP|{{{User|90.196.21.102}}}}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{IP|{{{User|90.196.21.102}}}}}}|talk]]) {{{Time|09:02, August 24, 2007 (UTC)}}}</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Demographics
[edit]The demographics section is misleading if based on 2001 census data: owner-occupation of homes in Britain is widely reported to have fallen massively since that year (arguably due to the boom in Buy-To-Let and the increasing unaffordability of houses to first-time buyers); plus there has been substantial immigration to the UK since then, and a person aged 44 in 2001 would be 55 now. In summary, 2001 was a long time ago so it's a bit misleading to present this as "this is how Whiteley is now". (Also, isn't Whiteley a little bigger now than it was in 2001?)
