 I hardly find this a snobbish objection! The majority of people living in Milton of Leys have paid very good money to live in such a nice area and have a their children go to one of the best schools in the city.  If the prison is built it will likely slash house prices in half.  Also given that it is palnned to be so close to a school it is an absolute joke to build a prison that will be housing peodophiles and sex offenders in an area with the largest number of primary children! It is not snobbish to object to it being build it is a matter of safety for their children so grow up and actually think about it before you make a snap judgement and calling people snobs!

 Your description of the Milton of Leys area is exactly the same as the Crown, a good area with affluent house prices and one of the best primary Schools in the city.

Have the house prices surrounding the current prison been adversely affected? In short, no.  

Your further argument of sex offenders being housed there is at best moot, and at worst a gross inaccuracy that attempts to inflame the situation using sensationalism.   What danger does any convict pose when incarcerated?
