THE Home Park planning hearing thread + subsequent chat.

That's good news then!

The FoCP have been using that tactic for the last eight weeks!

It's case law, it was specifically to stop a protest group ( or supporters) printing a letter in a standard format, in say a newsletter for people to cut out and sign. Or print off and sign!

That's why you no longer see, say the National Trust printing letters in their magazines for members to send in. Instead they ask you to write to your MP or who ever etc.

I would have thought the chair (a magistrate not a chippendale I believe) would be aware of that. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Swansea built stadiums to match their potential

Swansea didn't build their stadium. i.e. The football club didn't build the stadium. Swansea City Council built the stadium by allowing some nearby land to be developed for retail purposes and using the money gained to build the stadium. They also insisted that Swansea City FC shared with the local regional Rugby team.

There was a court test case a couple of years ago regarding petitions and the use of duplicate letters. It was deemed by the judges that petitions and multiple duplicate letters would be counted as only one letter. They decided that because people hadn't used their own words and written their own letters, they probably hadn't put that much thought into it. ( Or words to that effect.)

IIRC councils have the right to ignore any submissions which do not provide an address. (which may or may not show the writer could have an interest in the application.)

Does that mean that a standard letter with a unique address has to be taken as an individual letter? If so, we can cut and paste a letter, but all put our own address on it. :thumbs:

No GreenThing - Richard's comment still holds true. I was adding that councils can ignore comments from people who don't supply an address, and from addresses which could not be affected by the application. i.e. the council could choose to ignore comments from, say, Tavistock as residents of Tavvy will not be affected by the planning application.

Genuine question. Do you know how Swansea make income from the stadium (in terms of revenue streams, as opposed to actual amounts)? Obviously now they have the Premier League money, but I wonder what the plan was when they were still in the lower leagues.

TFoCP will be going into over drive when they hear Central Park is being considered for electric car charging point

 

[Glynn]

It always makes me laugh how they call themselves the The Friends of Central Park as everytime i am anywhere near it theres always loads of dog muck around. Surely there 1st priority is to pick up the poop haha.
