The funding from central government is a use-it-or-lose-it thing, and is ringfenced

Something will get done

Hopefully restored to a shopping centre with actual shops in it. There must be enough people in Stafford now given how many crappy new housing estates the council have allowed in the past 10 years.

I bet people in Stafford were saying the same thing when your house was built. 🙄

Older houses are much better, the current lot are absolutely horrendous quality.

We need more houses, but we don’t need them with every corner cut, stuff not properly wired, leaky pipes, etc

“Snagger” as a job shouldn’t need to exist

Far more importantly than that, we need them with developer funded adequate infrastructure to cope with the extra traffic, more schools and doctors surgery's to cope with the additional population. And sited in areas that aren't going to increase flooding for the rest of us.

But for some reason, the corrupt fuckmonkeys that are Stafford Borough Council, couldn't give a stuff about any of that, as long as they get additional council tax to fritter away.

They build more houses than road capacity and parking. The buses are useless and so nobody wants to try to get to the shops.

Government ( it’s been a Conservative one for 14 years in case anyone didn’t know ) allocates a number of houses to be built per local authority ( Stafford and Staffordshire have been Conservative councils in case anyone didn’t know )
These local authorities then have to allocate parcels of land as assigned for residential use

So, given that these pressures are drop down , and enforced by the Tories, at all levels, without any obligation to do much else , I believe it’s important to let the seven viewers of this website into that secret

Corrupt Fuckmonkies?

Call them by their real names

Conservatives

Guildhall Shopping Centre​

·


On Friday 8th March the sale of the Guildhall to the council was completed, and with them having (as yet unknown) plans to redevelop the site, it means an official end to the Guildhall as we have known it and sadly the 5 remaining members of the team here have been made redundant.
Between us we have clocked up over 100 years service in total, with our security manager Jock having been here since 1990, Jackie 25 years, and Ian 5 years. Brian our maintenance engineer has done around 30 years, and myself in the management office over 16 years.
It's been a tough few years for us with the changes in the centre brought about by the previous owners, but we carried on as best we could given the circumstances.
Whether the council and whoever their co-developers will be, decide to keep the Guildhall name anywhere remains to be seen. Whether any of us will be back in any capacity is also an unknown, but for now we'd all like to say a big thank you to everyone who has shopped here over the years. Everyone who used to come along to our various events throughout the year, I know there were a few regular faces which was always great to see. To all our past and present tenants, previous staff, and events teams.
Thank you, and goodbye.
