Well I hope it is seriously backwards! I'd love wolvo uni to make a go of the Stafford campus and smoke on stench lose customers over it, the idea of banning competition from a town you vacate is hysterical. We are supposed to be saving money, not using a purpose built building for its purpose when demand is there should be held punnishable.

I think we might anticipate some people being made to look rather foolish over this, but they're not the sort of people who would be troubled by that sort of thing. Some people will be punished, but they won't be the guilty ones.

If I was being paid good money to be the MP for an constituency in which this is the biggest population centre, then I like to think that I might be leaning on people a bit more than seems to be apparent from the current incumbent.

The abandonment of Stafford campus could, and should, be an opportunity for a rather less moribund operator to use it more beneficially.

Last time I looked our mp was a stokey, his missus worked in healthcare in stoke too. Its hard to be shocked that in his very short reign we're losing half our shit to stoke, healthcare especially, guy needs a slap. If only I was at home when he canvassed my house midday and midweek, rather than having a job I could have told him where he's going wrong. Shame some of actually have to work.

What a load of Zhit this is turning out to be.

What the be-jeeps is going on here??!

University wants out, university wants in ...in out, in out you shake it all about.

I hear there's a vote happening Thursday, do I have to do it in Stoke?

Must not forget stoke have lost out on what is the redhill and beaconside developments and not that much is moving to unhs.

The idea that they can put a clause on the sale saying no other universities merely proves that the move to Stoke was not for the students.


It's not that uncommon to find strange legal terms in the deeds. I'm in the process of buying a place which states I can't keep pigs and I can't keep more than 20 animals, including domestic pets. I have instructed my solicitor to get this restrictive covenant removed.

If those sorts of restrictions are commonplace it's a wonder the new council HQ ever got built.

University of Wolverhampton are putting a location in Stafford but it's not really related to the move by Staffs Uni. The plans were in motion prior to this. I believe Uni of Wolves are looking for a location in the town centre, most likely the Shire Hall.

...if not, SBC could build them one at no cost to them and maybe the deal could last approx. 4 years?

I wasn't aware you could do a degree in it. If I'd known we had a centre for excellence on our doorstep I might have chosen a different subject.
