Some of us can remember seeing Avro Ansons still in RAF service.

Stafford was described in The Guardian this week as being very dull and soulless and run by Freemasons

Although it referred to a period in the 1980's , has much changed?

I think both the green library and friars terrace have been sold by SCC. What is laughable is SCC vacating the decent registrars for that total crap and soul less new reg office at s place, because old buildings cost too much.

well guess what, SCC couldn't sell it so a SCC unit/ department called parent partnership has moved in there now, where is the saving? Complete joke.

Then SCC should return the registrars back to its original building and put the parent partnership department in s place. Then Buy back the library at the green. It's OUR town, not SCCs, 'it's time for Change'
SCC couldn't sell the Riverway site, hence the partnership development with Entrust.

I agree with that statement. Think the green was sold to a private party and my understanding SCC left it it a terrible state you only have to look at the damp outside.

Alot of stuff was been moved out from upstairs last week, a number of skips were filled.

Staffordshire County Council will have just under £30m less in 2015/16

A thousand knives all round !
Scrap children and OAPs, that should generate the necessary savings and allow some serious wastage of money on things WE, the providers of the money, don't need but THEY, the squandering junket-monkeys that play with our money think are a priority for their comfort and self-aggrandisement.

Simple way of cutting costs. Amalgamate the county and borough councils and put them in one place so their arses and elbows know what each is doing. Have one set of councillors who don't have any vested interests and get sacked immediately if they step out of line. Pay executives half as much, ensuring that positions are filled by those who feel they're working for the good of the community, not their wallets.

I have it on rather good authority that the Salt Library is safe for the foreseeable - Lichfield RO less so (more likely not so at all).
