Yes Douglas ratepayers are funding three full-time posts and an office. Edited September 27, 2022 by Moghrey Mie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyJoe Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) It's in the planning vision for developers to be incentivised to develop urban brownfield sites, perhaps at higher density than usual Edited September 27, 2022 by SleepyJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the comment about Piecroft above and ask how has someone managed to hold onto that job for 20 years as the town has just got worse and worse? It’s a bigger tip now than it was 20 years ago and yet he’s still in charge of regeneration. How? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
