Look at these bricks!

Is 2500:

A) The year the new cinema in Ealing will finally be opened to the public?

B) The price of a return flight to Nice airport and five nights in Cannes?

C) The number of genuinely affordable homes to be built by Ealing Council in the four years 2018-22?

GAH!

Impressive achievement @_petermason. Congratulations!

Just to clarify - that’s 2442 ‘genuinely affordable homes’ not merely ‘affordable’ as per the article?
