Another refreshing moment.

Someone asks a question of a politician, and it's then prompltly answered.

Just a pity all our questions can only be answered this way, as examplified by our M.P. and some of our councillors.

Though it would be so lovely to have some sort of balance, and those people weren't all from one party.

I wonder if they would be on here if they were in power, after all have you ever seen any input on threads on national government, the only time Jones shows his face on here is when he thinks he can score political points, never gets involved in fighting for his beleaguered parties fortunes at national level does he:rolleyes:

Greg Pope's 'in power' as you put it, and doesnt seem to feel his position is compromised by debating with us and answering our questions.

All the councillors who similarly come on here are also 'in power', in that they've been elected by the people of their wards, and sit on the council.

;)

It is 25% occupied and growing. However a deal is imminent with a new partner. It will all end break even. The flats are lovely, you must check them out.

I made detailed enquiries a few weeks ago.
I looked at many photos and downloaded floorplans and selected one ready to view but then discovered-
NO central heating :eek: and no smoking

Re: Secret location for drug and alcohol centre
 
At least Graham Jones has given an honest answer and stated where the proposed site is!! Why has Peter Britcliffe stated in the press that he does'nt know, when quite clearly he does...thats just a blatant lie!! You would like to think people would learn lessons really, when the original one was proposed on Avenue Parade, the council knew of the PCT's intent for at least two years before any of the residents did, and chose to sit on the knowledge untill it became clear the extent of residents anger!


Best Regards - Taggy

No Central Heating - There is a boiler in each apartment though. Will ask. Smoking, well that is an issue that has been thrashed about. Some have balconies.:D:D:D
