Stockport bypass project leader doesn’t know status of road – doh!

Bypass Posted on Mon, November 24, 2014 20:06

Jim McMahon, Stockport Council’s lead on the Cheadle Constituency Link Road for votes, doesn’t even understand the current status of the planning application. How much do we pay him?

As a clued up council taxpayer pointed out to him:

“Dear Mr McMahon

I received your invitation to the latest Local Liaison Forum
today but noted your error – see attached copy. You have stated that the scheme
has received planning approval by all three local authorities yet this is not
factually correct. As you’re aware, from the Public Inquiry we both attended,
Cheshire East have granted conditional approval based on
mitigation measures for the 30% traffic increase and subsequent illegal increase
in pollution levels in Disley being put in place. Again you’ll remember from the
PI that your planning expert, Paul Colclough, openly agreed that these
conditions have not been met.

As I know how concerned you are to be openly transparent with
the public, I look forward to receiving a corrected letter as I’m sure will all
of my neighbours. I trust too that the local residents of Disley will also
receive the corrected version, particularly as this issue is so potentially
damaging to their health and that of their families.

Many thanks in advance

XXXX

Local Resident

LibDem Deputy Leader of Stockport Council, Iain Roberts, tries to block doughty campaigner Pat Ruaune’s freedom of speech.

Goddard – Kerching

LibDem Councillors Posted on Mon, November 10, 2014 19:10

Goddard was in the House of Lords on the 6th of November and the 10th of November 2014. How is he managing to do his work as a councillor?

Goddard in the House of Greasers and Grabbers on 11th November too – £300 – kerching.

SoS Pickles has doubts about Stockport Council (don’t we all)

Woodford Development Posted on Sat, October 25, 2014 07:31

A report from Woodford Community Council:

Woodford Aerodrome Planning Application on hold

The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has written to Stockport Council in response to its letter of 29th September 2014 concerning the application for permission to develop land at the former Woodford Aerodrome.

The Secretary of State regrets that the Department is unable to complete consideration of the proposal by 22nd October 2014 and, in exercise of his powers under article 25(1) The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2010, the Secretary of State has directed Stockport Council not to grant permission on the application without specific authorisation. This Direction is issued to enable the Department to have a further period in which to consider the proposal. The matter will be dealt with as quickly as possible and a further letter will be sent to SMBC when that consideration has been completed.

As there now is a further period of consideration regarding this application, you can still write to the Secretary of State if you missed the 22nd October deadline. All details can be found here.

The local community needs your support. Don’t rely on others – do your bit to help
