1. Well I go to Ashton Moss to the food halls there....and thats further away than FW (I live in Royton)
2. BP being developed for housing and the Lancaster Club being redeveloped for a stadium and associated leisure facilites....hmm, two underutilised areas being developed and creating jobs?? that sounds like regeneration to me. You've also failed to recognise that the BP site would be developed in part for key-work homes which supports and ultimately helps safeguard jobs at the NHS (and police etc.). And what about the jobs at the FW site - the hotel, the leisure facilities, the food facilities, the cinema etc.
And, getting back to the point in question, whilst Woolas gets in his political dig over SP2000, I think the good thing is, that he doesn't say anything alarming about the FW site which, hopefully would mean that, if Labour are elected in May, hopefully the plans wouldn't get ripped up - which is what Lib Dems did over Clayton. All round, I think them responses should provide us with some comfort, even if Alwyn and Kashif didn't seem to know too much about what they actually wanted.
