I may be going a bit off track here but not only do we have destruction of marshes, the leisure officer at Council who supported the rugby club application is in Newsletter today saying we will have big screen football matches screened in Victoria Park!
Maybe this should be a thread of its own?

Is not the watching of football on big screens traditionally accompanied by the consumption of large quantities of alcohol?

Is the consumption of alcohol not banned in the park?

Don't people go to the park for a bit of peace and quiet?

What is the world coming to?

Yes, all of the above. And trouble often follows as well.

The problem with small councils is that they do not get the people with experience to join them or they promote from within!

To make a statement about screening sporting events in the park is absurd. Risk, safety, police, alcohol, cost and council cutbacks !

Dear Friends,

Over the last year we have been fighting our campaign to SAVE STAFFORDSHIRE COUNTRYSIDE & AONB, and the latest consultation update has now been released by the council now that the elections have passed.

You can find the council papers here http://moderngov.staffordshire.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?MId=6583&x=1

The date this is considered at Scrutiny Committee is Tuesday 24th May 10am at the County Buildings in Stafford. Again this is a public meeting and I invite you to come along. Please spread the word.

https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/save-staffordshire-countryside-aonb


Please visit the link and read the papers for yourself but here are some key points from the papers

  • Our petition of nearly 12,000 people to oppose the sale or privatisation of Green Spaces in Staffordshire is misrepresented and dismissed as only 7,000 against the sale of Cannock Chase because only 555 people responding to their consultation. There is no reference to the full council debate and unanimous named vote to accept the petition.
  • Option A to remain with the County Council is overwhelmingly supported by the respondents with 77% whilst the options they are proceeding with for ALL sites Option C (to establish partnership of landowners) and Option B (Transfer of management site by site) are the least supported options at 24% and 37%.
  • In the section on legal issues and key risks it clearly states "This may involve the transfer of County Assets (but not land) to an organisation..." It is not clear what these assets are.
  • The cabinet member wants delegated responsibility to make decisions on the final management proposals, unless there is siginificant change or impact on the public or the level of service
  • There will be further public engagement on a site by site basis
  • This will affect 50 (Full Time equivalent) staff
  • Rights of way and path maintenance are not covered at all
Beyond the statement to drive all management to a partnership of landowners or transfer of management there is a continued lack of clarity on the details for any proposal, the priorities for each site for both public amenity and ecological conservation are not explained in sufficient detail to facilitate accurate appraisal of the progress being made.

If you have comments you would like me to relay to the committee please email me at Paul.Woodhead@GreenParty.org.uk
