After building on a small site Barrett must be in the running for a major project..........On a plate so to speak

I Know. But its all stitched up now. One contractor, several streams of professional advice. Legal deals that favour the Council. In projects like this Councils know how to gain the upper hand.
Shame elsewhere, supermarkets and mult nationals, particuarly on planning have an army of suited guys that drive coach and horses through the law and residents concerns and interests of the local economy. Its interesting to see how BwD are fighting back and I have to say thay would give Tescos a run for their money if they had to. Tesco's would floor Hyndburn BC !!!
