Exclamation Re: Get on yer bike!

Its a 3rd 3rd 3rd with HBC, Barnfield and philanthropic individual Stuart Nevison.
Is`nt he the head of Barnfield Construction?

As a member of GEL I can't say anything as it is a private business (subject to company law)
Is it a private business or a limited company, in which case company details are avalible from Companies House. So are you a "member", director, shareholder or what?

As for Scaitcliffe lodge. I think the quotas have been relaxed in terms of ELEVATE's Housing Market Renewal programme area so as not to prevent regeneration in those areas. In any case the scheme proposes 3,000 less houses than there is currently so there is a net gain in the programme anyway.
Does this mean that anyone can aquire land for residential development as long as it`s in Elevates regeneration area or just the council? This answer seems deliberatly vague

Scaitcliffe Lodge development is upmarket flats with some retail. Backed by two private individuals, I don't think GEL are in the business of making uncommercial decisions.
I`m sure they are not especially with the council as a partner giving the green light to planning applications.

The Cycleway is a very good idea (backed with outside public monies) even if it takes a few years to network nationwide.
It is networked nationwide and has been for a number of years, over 10000 miles of cycleways thanks to Sustrans and it`s supporters

I just wish we had put more thought into the section from the Lodge down to Church.
The only thing wrong with the section to Church is that it has never been maintained leading to the run down state it is currently in
