Move is on hold at the moment as council land in Failsworth likely to have charitable status and in that case we won't be able to build on it.

 

Council and club are looking at solutions to this to apease the Charity Commission and local residents.

 

Nothing can really happen until this has been resolved.

 

No concrete plans yet, no planning permission.

 

Houses being built at back of Chaddy End and planning permission sought for key worker housing behind Lookers and RRE.

That's easy.

 

Feck all.

 

 

Sensible answer - I believe it's up for discussion at tomorrow's council cabinet, in terms of what options are available with the memorial park land.

A probable solution being discussed by the council on Wed is to swap the memorial land that is causung the problem with another peice of land of the same value somewhere else in the borough, Failsworth I assume, so that there is still a memorial area and thus freeing the land up for Latics to rent.

The proposed key worker flats and probaly a health centre are planned to be on the Sheepfoot Lane car park behind RRE not behind where the Lookers was.

Walked towards BP this morning and noticed that planning application notices had been posted on lamposts at the bottom of Sheepfoot Lane (dated 15/3/2010)

 

Any ideas

[another fan]

Construction of a new building ranging from three to six storeys and providing 140 units of key worker accommodation (Class C3) together with a health centre (Class D1) with associated car parking and landscaping,

 

as per previous threads

Cheers knew it would already be on here but too lazy to look for it

 

Thanks

Surely TTA/ their lawyers would have looked into the land being charitable before launching a bid to build a stadium there!?

Just to clear up, TTA relied on the Council for this.

The council believed the land did not have charitable status.

The local action groups dug up some evidence that casted doubt on this.

The charity commission were unable to rule.

The council got an independent expert in and now accept that the land does have charitble status and are looking to formalise this with the charity commission.

Once formalised the council are going to try and swap the charitble status to another patch of land in the borough so that the land can be developed.

I can just hear the council in their chamber now, in full voice, "get out of our town, get out of our towwwwwnnnnn, you :censored: professional sport bastards, get out of our town....."

If this is an option, was the same option not available when sports park 2000 was muted.We were willing to move the clayton pitches just a short distance away,basically swapping land BP for claytons?

One ask to ask oneself why Dastardly and Muttley continued their plotting and their underhanded Whacky Racing after so many losses. Surely there are only so many falling rock traps and detours over canyons that one can endure before simply enhancing the performance of the car would reveal itself as the best way forward? Adding rocket boosters was never a good idea either. And how about that dog? Boot it out, it's extra weight...

 

They never caught that pigeon either. Can anyone remember why they were chasing it in the first place?

Because the cartoon was called 'catch the pigeon'......a Hanna Barbera classic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry forgot this

It was carrier pidgeon working for the other side. It delivered a message that scuppered their scheme.

Yeah, i'm not sure on the exact details but as far as Sports Park 2000 was concerned, it had the go ahead from the Dep Prime Ministers Office and was only shelved when the Lib Dem council replaced Labour. The land issue wasn't the problem, the problem was that the new trustees didn't want to swap it.

Yeah, but who was the other side? It made no sense. lol

Kids cartoon in making no sense shocker!!!

 

Next question: Where the frig was Roadrunner going?

Have you seen the latest Scooby-Doo cartoons? The villains are let go at the end, there used to be the same Sheriff saying something like "They won't be doing much <insert caper> where they are going, that's for sure!" and then the meddling kids thing - but now they all make amends at the gripping conclusion!

 

Roadrunner was just following roads. Wile E Coyote was just dim. If he could get mail order ACME products surely he could've ordered a take away.

Dick Dastardly is actually cartoon depiction of Schopenhauer’s theory of Man being unable to find peace within himself as he is always driven by the Will. Thus, even though Dastardly gets ahead of the pack numerous times in each Wacky Race, rather than go with the flow and carry on racing to victory he feels the need to intervene and cheat. Coyote is one of those people who probably feel they ought to become vegetarian but convince themselves that it’s OK because they got the meat themselves and know how it was slaughtered.

Hahaha, yes. It's funny isn't it! How about Cow and Chicken?

And how many iterations can we expect to see of:

 

Council: Can we register the land as a trust?

Charity Commission: Maybe. Maybe not. Ooh, we don't really know, Mavis.

 

Council: Here we go everyone, how about swapping charitable status with this lovely piece of land we found over here?

Local councillors/NIMBYs/Memorial Park Trustees: No No NO!

 

Tune in in May (2015) for the next exciting step forward!

This brings it a lot closer doesn’t it? If that was the only major legal block then it’s job sorted, beyond that nutjob and his band of merry men saying they don’t like it there’s nothing left. Certainly nobody near the alternative site will mind I shouldn’t think, nobody is going to mind some local land being converted into a charitable war memorial garden!
