RESIDENTS who live in a town which is being "swallowed" by 550 newbuilds say their roads can't handle it.<\/p>\n
Developer London Square plans to build seven tower blocks up to eight storeys high in Crayford, South East London.<\/p>\n

The \u00a3180million development will have a total of 559 homes, including 240 for shared ownership and social rent.<\/p>\n
John Harris, 65, said his family are considering moving to the north of England because they are fed up of developments in outer London towns.<\/p>\n
"I'm just fed up with seeing the whole area in general being overloaded with new homes," he told MyLondon.<\/p>\n
