Funny how the E&S use a picture of Stafford Place surrounded by fencing, as though that's part of the buildings.

Enjoying a drop of red.

It's the only pic they have on file and they can't afford to send anyone to take a new one, is the more likely scenario.

You're right, unfortunately. Can't wait for the Noozeletta's 72-page council corruption expose, though.

Mr Heenan. He just forgot to declare his interests and probably made a little bit of money that arrived in a non white envelope but he said sorry.

To be fair, it was only a few million quid of redirected taxpayers' money, allegedly, and it was used to help Stafford become the traffic jam capital of the world.

Rugby Club planning application time again next Monday. This is the sort of solid gold sleaze that makes Stafford great. Loads more on the Borough C website.


Process:

There was no pre-application consultation
The application is a moving target because of continual amendments
The application was advertised with a misleading site address; there was a lack of publicity
The applicant was advised that no more amendments would be accepted then more information was submitted
There has not been sufficient time for late amendments to be viewed by consultees
The process has not been transparent
Supporting comments from people outside of Stafford should be disregarded
References to the previous approval are irrelevant and should be ignored
External influences such as the Newsletter stating new courses from this site suggest the decision has already been made
The height of the clubhouse is not clear
Network Rail were not informed but there is an impact on rail users
Senior SBC officer who is also a SRC Director is party to information on the application
The club have links with Adam Hill and Mike Heenan
Council officers have been lodging support online
Land charge searches on the housing estate did not reveal previous applications on this site
If approved, the case will need to be judicially reviewed

Also (a classic, this one)

The club have no legal right to build over protected green space

Yes but, apart from that everything is above board.
