I asked why Goddard stayed in 5 star hotel in Salford

What is wrong with the 192 bus, I asked? If he had given me a ring I would have gone out in my old VW to collect him rather than pay for him to stay overnight in a 5 star hotel with a chaise longue in Salford. Salford!



Compare and contrast how SMBC treats contamination when they do and when they don’t stand to make money

“The Lib Dems

A huge portion of the new Green membership is under the age of 30. The older ones in this group largely voted Lib Dem in 2010, and were then disenchanted not just by the trebling of fees but the blatant cynicism of Lib Dem leaders betraying their solemn promises. The younger ones are of the sort who the Lib Dems were good at attracting five years ago. No more. For a long time, Lib Dems were able to appeal to different electorates by pretending to be very different things. Being in government meant they could only be one of those things.”

Eventually I forced an explanation out of them for the massive rise in costs

These documents can be more clearly read here:- http://www.sheilaoliver.org/financial-irregularities.html

In the document below from March 2008, the Council says the cost they have worked on for the project is £1450/m2.

I was questioning and questioning the rising costs of this school. To try to shut me up they had to come up with some sort of explanation for exponentially rising costs. In this document they explain the size of the school has gone from 2600 m2 to 3185m2. This is a rise of 585m2 and we see the cost they have given is £1450m2. 585 x £1450 = £848,250 and not the £1,050,000 they claim.



£5.5m to £9.9m and it is vexatious to ask why

Vale View School Posted on Fri, January 16, 2015 09:08

In October 2005 the Vale View School was to have cost £5.5m. By March 2008 the costs had risen to £9.9m. At this time Stockport Council was still pretending there was no contamination on the site, though they knew otherwise, so the rise in cost can’t be down to the costs of contamination remediation.

Year after year after year up until the present day I am told I am “vexatious” for raising this matter. I think the LibDem ruling councillors and fatcat council officials at the top forget who funds them so generously – me.

£8m spend on the dodgy road for votes so far (more I am sure)

But no money spare to enhance the lives of young children.



Continuing in their “don’t like children” vein…
