Re: Hypocrassy of the council

“Hang on! The Council is hardly responsible for what Lancashire Publications puts on newsstands”.

TRUE

“As far as the Council working with developers - should they be working AGAINST any development in Wigan? If they had had that attitude in the 1960s then we would still be looking out on ruins and slag
heaps.”

“NOT TRUE, THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT WAS FOR A SMALL INDUSTRIAL ESTATE. THIS DID NOT INCLUDE WHAREHOUSING, IT WAS ONLY AFTER AMALGAMATION OCCURRED
THAT WHAREHOUSING WAS ALLOWED AND THE RESULTING TRAFFIC.”



You have run a good campaign against the proposed development

TRUE

,” and I very much doubt that the plans will go ahead. However, there is no need to over-egg your case.”

AND PERPLEXED, DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING THE REST OF US DO NOT?

“ There is a planning process which all councils have to go through, whether people like the process or not. “

ONE PINCHES ONESELF, THIS ONLY WORKS IN HUNG COUNCILS

To accuse the Council of hypocrisy in this case serves no useful purpose, and appears to be an attempt to rabble rouse, which is unnecessary,

COME ON, DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THE FEW PEOPLE WHO VIEW THIS SITE WILL BRING ABOUT A REPLAY OF THE “POLL TAX RIOTS”


and alienates people who like to see a reasoned argument.

No, I have nothing to do with the Council. A pity that when someone expresses a contrary opinion you have to suggest that they have ulterior motives, and not accept that people may have views other than your own.

Hi Ray
Residents of Bryn road would think they were in Paradise.
No not Paradise Ray , HEAVEN.

PS when I moved into Bryn Road 39years and 14 days ago, our house faced a thirty foot + high slag heap.
We knew when we bought it, that it was there, what we didn't know was this monument to King Coal wuld be replaced by a moving, poluting monument to the materialistic society that is modern Britain.

Re: Hypocrisy of the council

If Fair Play really wants fair play then maybe he should ring council offices and be told as I have that :

" Even if 100% of the residents object , then the development can still be passed"

or such words as:

" We cannot tell you certain information because we are working in partnership with the developers thus making it commercially sensitive"

I am fully aware of the process that goes into planning applications, but cannot see why the council are putting money into researching it when it clearly contradicts the UDP.

Hi Mr/Mrs/Ms Fairplay

You will have no doubt noted that I agreed with several things you wrote. I also can see from the composition of your writing you are articulate. So I think you will appreciate that your use of a nome de plume, and your ommssion of where you come from, can well lead one to suspect an ulterior motive. Right or wrong.
