MMM strange that, i have seen councils bend over backwards to find and lure businesses to there area,
Melton council even did a deal many years ago that wasnt illegal but certainly didnt go to the community to get it passed, when the deal came out the residents were in uproar.
So my point is , the council only follows rules when they suit them.
Your point about the Bullies doing everything, I bet if Richard Branson was building it they would have offered him anywhere he wanted, passed it and given him the key to the city!
The council now knows exactly the building being sort to build and what it entails, so why cant it point out places it has for that kind of thing?
The Bulldogs could spend 10 years going up and down with places it wants the place built, why not get rid of all the bullshit and WORK TOGETHER and at least tell the dogs where they would think it would get through.
Personally i think its all coming down to the council trying to get back the million dollars the previous council agreed to because it was never there in the first place.
And they are using paper work and a few hundred residents to block it.
Back to spin doctoring.
