A snippet
caught my eye whilst reading last week’s Reporter. (21 Nov’ 2013)
It carried a
letter from a prolific, yet totally unoffending correspondent, whose innocent
account of her travelling jaunts, has once again high-lighted the obvious chink
in the council’s argument that the Metro will boost trade in Ashton.
Ashton Market
currently has 140 stalls.
Bury, on the other hand boasts 370 stalls, that’s
over 2.5 times more to offer, which could explain why Bury welcomes over 250,000 shoppers
every week!
In order to
remedy this, our councillors are planning to spend £4.5 million destroying redesigning
Ashton’s historic market ground.
Unfortunately, the plan so far includes reducing the number of traditional
free standing outside stalls to 50, supported by 6 pop-up stalls and 7 Kiosks.

A shopaholic’s dream, if ever I saw one!
Go to the Hyde outside market area if you want to see how our imbecile Council spends your money
ReplyDeleteand trashes a far better outside market.
If YOU vote for absolute nutters who have no commercial backgrounds,or management skills then YOU ARE ONE OF THEM.
The trams free for pensioners. What's not to like. It's also expensive, low capacity (relative to the number of moving people in GTR Manchester), inflexible, obstructive and unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteirene woodcock drives me mad. the drivel she writes each week is terrible, its just an excuse by the paper not to publish any letters that disagree with tameside council and its one party system
ReplyDeleteIrene Woodcock has just as much right to write her letters to the Editor as anyone else. If you have a comment to make regarding the frequency in which her correspondence is published, you need to complain to the Editor whose decision it is, as to who, what and when letters are featured.
ReplyDeletePity this site door shuts concerning facts concerning Tameside Councillors and the rackets they ran
ReplyDeletewhere they escaped the law and the full consequences which should have occurred.
Please explain/expand on the first five words of your comment.
DeleteIf you are alleging some past misdemeanors committed by serving councillors, please show us the power of your convictions by supplying the proof.
Making spurious nonsensical remarks, merely adds to the popular belief that the majority of bloggers are cranks!

ReplyDeleteCouple of good points Curmudgeon. I never make a comment unless I have the proof to prove it. Compared to pre-internet days it is vastly easier to research matters now than it was 10 years or more ago. To put it bluntly in the past it was easy to hide documents at Land Registry, Companies House etc. The documents were LEGALLY available but PHYSICALLY hard to find. Not now.
For reasons I need not go into, we all know what they are, I believe that Democratic discussion and reporting is mostly provided in Tameside by two or three blogs. The "official" media has been emasculated and had it's teeth drawn. The next step is to discredit and / or close down the "blogosphere".
tondj, I tend to agree!
