Residents meeting regarding stadium

Personally i found the video quite amusing, reminded me of  Blott on the Landscape for those that are old enough...

Very nice of them too to film the whole thing and publish their views, plans and concerns ahead of any plans actually being submitted......if you know what your enemy are going to do....
i quite liked the opening gambit of we are appealing to the committee to reconsider the report as we have researched and found only 2 or 3 professional clubs have training facilities as part of their stadium so the development could be smaller meaning other sites might work !!

Also as others have pointed out....was there anybody younger than 50 or 60 in that room ?  Hardly the future of the town or even that ward being represented.

I would love the stadium to be built on scartho top. At least that way we might finally have some shops on here after 15 years 😂

You have a load of shops on Second Avenue....

Quoted from Green27

Shine a light on the truth and watch the cockroaches scurry away. Both councillors could find themselves in hot water for their inflammatory remarks and rightly so. We have a right to know what is being said and it's a relief it was being filmed some of the stuff discussed was at times slanderous and down right lies.

You have to question a person who is not happy for a consultation meeting open to the public to be filmed.

Pretty sure that the above wont have gone unnoticed by JF and if he is half as vigorous as he is when someone on here airs a view i am sure he will follow it up.

Building a housing development on the land next to Peaks Parkway makes a lot more sense than local plan proposals to build housing on Greenfield land south of the henavily congested toll bar roundabout. At least with a development on peaks parkway people can access the town centre by foot or cycling.

The general planning consensus is that spreading urban areas out is killing town centres, creating traffic congestion and meaning people spend more time commuting.

This development is needed not only for the stadium but to provide housing so we don't have to continue extending the town's boundaries.

Surely defritarses comments are inciting acts of terrorism, he should be arrested and removed from his position.

I think that may be pushing it a little.....

However, councilors have to abide by a code of conduct which states that;

"Members shall at all times conduct themselves in a manner which will tend to maintain and strengthen the public's trust and confidence in the integrity of the Council and never undertake any action which would bring the Council, or its Members or officers generally, into disrepute."

I'm pretty certain that threatening to 'booby trap' an application doesn't strengthen the public's trust in the council. At the very least there are a few questions to be answered.

There looks to be a very robust complaint process, full details are on the link below.

As one of the councillors for Park Ward de Frietas objection is totally justified and understandable, he is making the case for his NIMBY residents (who lets face it vote for him) but can someone please refresh my memory about what his objections were to the Great Coates site (still the best option in my opinion for rail and road links)

I don't understand de Frietas attitude towards the Great Coates idea, what, other than him being a councillor, did it have to do with him. It did not affect his ward directly and would he object to the stadium in which ever ward was suggested.

As for the 'booby trapping' comment I think it has been taken out of context. I reckon they mean putting anything and everything in the way to derail, disrupt or delay the stadium in any way they can. Somehow I don't see some blue rinse elderly NIMBY in a flannelette nightie creeping into the building site at one in the morning with a couple of pounds of plastic explosive down her girdle. Sadly, as it would solve a lot of problems, I don't see de Freitas as a suicide bomber driving a truck full of homemade explosives into the site either.

You should have seen him when I had him trapped in my front garden Swin he squirmed like an eel.He point blank refused to answer any questions and would not listen to an opposing view his type are everything that are wrong with local politics.All this ground stuff aside lets not forget he was one of those who let over £3m of taxpayers money disappear into Icelandic banks without the publics knowledge THIS MAN IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

Is fenty anymore trustworthy? Remember his comment on Humberside that the stadium was a done deal? I think there are far more corrupt and untrustworthy councillors than ADF. Like him or loathe him at least he is working passionately for those he represents.

£200M coming into the local economy I hope it is a done deal
