    Let's build a hotel !

    Best check it’s not listed - the relevant council might try and sell it - should be useful addition for tourists looking to see the combined sights of Stafford. Think the planning department missed a trick could have turned the shopping centre into a housing estate - more council tax payments

    Housing Building - Staffs update

    Presume you live in an isolated location and don’t mind mass house building - one of the few happy ones in Stafford. Ps the council receives business rates and therefore are stuffed in Stafford

    Shire Hall to be "temporarily mothballed"
