MP1953Participant[quote quote=106346]In your report of 17/01/16, you reported that Lesley Griffiths AM is to write to Mark Pritchard regarding how the decision to demolish the Groves was made in such a hurried fashion especially when it follows on so close to the other perverse decisions recently.
I sincerely hope the Leighton Andrews is made aware of her findings, when received, and if found wanting in any way, that the Welsh Assembly investigate the manner in which WCBC is being run by Elected Members, especially in light of the somewhat perverse decisions made of late made by the present administration.
Public confidence has been almost totally eroded.
Perhaps the time is right for Commissioners to be appointed before the situation gets even worse, if that is possible.

As I have hinted/insinuated even! on here before, you would like/hope to think that the council are a credible professional body, but my personal recent involvement with them unfortunately is far from this…

R TKeymasterThis report from 2012 may be of interest regarding the concrete bits already demolished https://www.wrexham.gov.uk/MinutesData/ExBoard/Reports/haed3912.pdf
Councillors recommended…
“note the action taken by the Head of Assets and Economic Development to secure the former Grove Park County School for Girls building”
and
“authorise the Head of Assets and Economic Development to take the steps of making the former Grove Park County School for Girls building wind and watertight, addressing any actions following an asbestos survey and implementing any security measures required; ”

My dealings are nothing to do with this particular matter, but it is quite remarkable how an authority get away with being so unprofessional without being challenged to much.

[/quote] You are not allowed to challenge the Council. Once a decision has been made even at a low level, officers higher up will mot change that decision even though the first decision in your opinion may be wrong. The Council are answerable to nobody. I have a case at the moment where I am knocking my head against a brick wall .

Daave63ParticipantWhilst I can see your point Rohelendus, you don’t half go on! And Shefag. nice picture, but whats it mean mate?
I would like to see the building saved [as the town has lost far to many interesting ones over the years] but if its down to cost then….
As a layman though, the roof on my dads shed was damaged in the storms over christmas! We priced a new shed £150! We then price a refurbishment – roll of felt, nails and some trim £10!!
You do the math!!

Daave63ParticipantI am not opposed to U2 in any way – Streets of Belfast is one of my favs – but what is ‘pro-bono’??

RohelendusParticipantPro bono publico (English: for the public good; usually shortened to pro bono) is a Latin phrase for professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment or at a reduced fee as a public service.
