Because it was never maintained. Almost everything the council owns has been allowed to run down and then they use that as the excuse to close and demolish.

crookesey Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 If council members bother to read any of this they will look at it as right wing trouble making, and most of you guys will carry on voting for them, you therefore deserve everything that you get (or more to the point don’t get).

Guest Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) I would like to know why a council strapped for cash can afford to be forever suing somebody. I, by the way, have not voted for this council ever since the World Student Games and the digging and filling in of many big holes.

bassett one Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 i dont vote labour locally ,but why dont the council own the moor? and who decides what goes on it? i know the local funfair have the xmas and summer rights to the market stalls ect and i believe no one else can bid for the rights,but with the market stalls outside why are they not made to be a feature like many other citys? or a attraction like many other town/citys?

As someone who despises Tory politics, what choice do I have? Lib-Dems have Gail Smith (met her - can't stand her). Greens I like in principle, but have some bat**** ideas. I just don't bother voting or spoil my paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Probably because the company was prepared to invest significant amounts of money in it that the council didn’t have access to. 6 hours ago, Organgrinder said: I would like to know why a council strapped for cash can afford to be forever suing somebody. So by implication, you think they shouldn’t sue anyone, so those folk who they have a reason to seek redress in court against can get away with anything as they know the council won’t resort to the courts?

There is often “capital”funding available to build things, but “revenue” funding that is used for maintenance is far more limited. ( roads are a good example) It’s just a factor of how the government has set up local authority finance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
