Just received from Paul Woodhead of 38 Degrees -
"Reading through the papers for my local town council for their meeting this week I discovered a notice (pages 23-25 in the attached link) that there are planned two Bidder Information Days planned at Chasewater and Apedale in October for Companies to allow potential partners the opportunity to find out more and provide feedback on what would encourage you to tender for the opportunities to work with our site.
Further Private panel feedback meetings with officers and key colleagues will also be available
I cannot find this on the County website and do not know if this has been widely circulated in the public domain. It is disturbing that Staffordshire County Council talk about Companies and not community based organisations or charitable trusts etc. and there appears to be no parameters to the discussions around community priorities of conservation and preservation.
The secrecy and lack of transparency has been a hallmark of how the council has handled this process and we deserve better from the level of public interest in the decision and the love the people of Staffordshire have of our Countryside.
Afterall it is Ours to enjoy, not theirs for profit
