When you put in context how many attempts they’ve had at trying to get this planning permission through, it’s could be construed as a form of blackmail !
Previously, they’ve promised actions before, but never materialized.So far they’ve tried to use the excuse of Brown field land ( incorrectly) and WCBC housing needs to try and get this through.
Last time, 2011, an inspector acting for the Welsh Assembly refused planning due to the main fact of it was building on green barrier land , plus several others.
Luckily, the rally just wants to ‘borrow’ some roads, stages and somewhere to park overnight.
Even they can’t mess that up !Local Wales GB rally, that’ll mean at least a weekend of stage to stage Sprinting by myself, again.
Looking forward to it, hopefully it comes off.
The ‘playpen’ in the back has a height restriction of about 3′ ! If the staff at the squire York mistook anyone into the ‘playpen then served them Guinness. Then they deserve too be shut, but I feel this wasn’t the case.
Strange how no one has been prosecuted in the dreaded pub run. I’ve blatantly seen ‘illegal’ drinkers there at the weekends.
I remember playing cowboys & Indians as a kid with homemade bows and arrows and using straw bales to make barricades in a local field. We used to screw brass darts onto the end of the arrows to aid flight stability. If it hit you, it stuck in.
Now that Was dangerous looking back.
The truth is, good Samaritans are few and far between, but there are some out there.
In these hard times, all charities are feeling the pinch too.Wayne, the charity I was referring to was badly managed. Your correct about bringing in ‘experts’ to raise funds, but obviously, it should be self funding.
The one I am talking about gave out several well paid contracts of employment to staff. They obviously didn’t live up to expectations, yet the charity footed the bill. Cutting ‘treats’ for the people is was supposed to be aiding was the result, albeit until the groups recently aqquired deadwood had ‘left’ the business.I totally agree with you Wayne. The truth is Wrexham has always seemed to make decisions for a short term fix irrespective of the long term consequences.
Wrexham town centre a prime example of this.@thewayneinspain 3077 wrote:
If wrexham is to become the place which has the biggest prison in GB that would certainly change the negative perception of wrexham to a worse one.
Just imagine the pub banter in 10 years in the future:
“Was in Wrexham last week”
“Didn’t know you had done anything wrong.”“What do you call a big house in Wrexham?”
“A prison.”“What do you call someone with a job in Wrexham?”
“A prison guard.”“What the difference between Eagles Meadow and the Super Prison?”
Etc.
Sadly, I agree, but jobs are jobs. The Wrexham area over the last 5-10 years has been hemorrhaging jobs and businesses. That’s the only positive.
I personally used to give freely to local charities until my eyes were opened to a certain local charity that ‘ developed’ into a business quite quickly. PR’s , advertising manager’s etc, etc. This was happening as care costs were being cut.
Like a lot of good will movements, greed takes over and someone, somewhere will cream off people’s goodwill to line their own pockets.
I don’t mind helping the needy, feeding greed I will not participate in.Off topic, lottery finding, is it working ?
