Fenty defends plan against "vociferous"

Quoted from ackomariner

At the end of the day barra, they are trying anything to not get this built. Some woman on facebook last night going on about trying to get out of the junction from the crem onto weelsby rd, I told her that a new junction or roundabout would be built on the parkway itself to get in and out of the stadium. But no, she wasn't having it, so told her if you want to be negative about the plans, please be sure to have all the facts before she makes herself look even more daft.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that the eventual plan could easily propose a road structure that alleviates traffic on Weelsby Avenue. It wouldn't take too much to ensure that any road network served the Crem. meaning that there would be no need for mourners/corteges to use Weelsby Avenue. The junction with Weelsby Road has been a nightmare since the Parkway was completed. I keep saying it but there are no actual plans as such yet. NELC are currently trying to identify the feasibility of the site...

The club had lined up corner flags to show on the field were the pitch would be and a 'protester' walked onto the site and removed the flags, genius.

Is councillor Fenty quite so pro affordable housing in his own ward?

I thought it was a government regulation that on new builds, there has to be set aside so many for social housing.  A few of the new build sites I have worked on, have built some but I'm not sure how many out of the total plots % wise.  You also have shoreline who will take up so many as other housing associations in Lincolnshire have done the same on new builds.

Some people from the flats have been offered housing in Scunny and elsewhere because there isn't enough places here, that's why so many have been given a considerable amount of our money to move out.  The flats off Freeman street, I've been informed are less than 50% occupied and the surrounding tenements are heading the same way.

My pal works for shoreline and its not the ex coach selling ipads cheap but he says they got 4 k for moving out,some have spent it on the finer things of life

Regarding the stadium as much as I think defreitas is a self serving toad he knows how to the play the political game very well how long did he stay in power achieving zilch ,gonna be a long war this and fenty IMO not favourite to win

Did his mam dress him before he went out?

Did his mam dress him before he went out?

I read this before I saw the picture and realised I've never seen JF wear anything but a suit. I now know that on his days off he dresses like he's in a parody rap crew.

Fair play to JF for getting out there and facing the elements never mind the hostile natives!

These sort of events are always going to attract the people objecting to the proposals rather than those in favour. I can understand their concerns and it's good to see that JF and the club are willing to listen to these and try to address them. What does wind me up though is when people bend the truth to fit their own agenda. According to the lady in the article Asda, Tesco, Sainabury's and Aldi are all losing money in Grimsby so we don't need another supermarket!

Narrow minds. The biggest threat and inhibitor to growth and evolution in Grimsby.
