Planning really need to get their arses in gear and get some of these pushed through. Does anyone know what happened about the Newsons appeal recently?

Someone announces private investment into a faculty that can only enhance the town and also generate a load of work and tax revenue from before a vehicle even arrives on site, and people are moaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 After the casino and hotel are moved from their present location on the prom. to this new site, what is the plan for the old location? If there are no plans, the questions that come to mind are: 1. How long will it take for the current site to degenerate into a bomb site 2. How long will it remain in that condition 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The take up of any office space will be low as there's acres of office space already available, unless of course IOMG rent them which means we'll be paying twice for them! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
