Stanley said this. They wanted somewhere their own in the mornings and community use afternoons and evenings. Arden Hall would meet those criteria.

Yes, I think if you know the area, you'd agree with that. They may be looking at a grass pitch at the side of Pinewood Drive above AH. They want 3G which they say is better than astro turf on the current AH pitch.

They ran up Spencer St kicking off wing mirrors yesterday. Had the police around several times. I'll be playing holy hell when I meet them soon. Got hold of a muppet on a bike too, told him to clear off, sign says... NO MOTORBIKES!!! Teresa phoned me off Oswald Street. She's 80. They spat and abused her and told her to FO when she caught them taking a plastic chair out of her back yard. Got the police to go and see her right away.

The Tories allowed that Of-Licence to be get a licence. Told them. Everyone else told them. The public... The Police have had enough, it's coming up for revocation soon. Its failed a test purchase recently with Trading Standards.
