flipping wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Good news. That's one hurdle overcome.
The biggest one starts tomorrow though...

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

Nicely done guys in a Tory-controlled council. No pressure on the Labour government-controlled inspector to pass the new stadium then :p

 

[Cricko]

Impeccable timing don't you think....:D :D

 

[fatshrimp]

was the decision ever in doubt, really?

Still a relief though.

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

Impeccable timing don't you think....:D :D

Anyone else reckon Uncle Ron had some inside knowledge on this timing? Just another reason to be confident that the stadium plans as a whole should be approved, I think... :D

Indeed. Now wait for the howl of the NIMBYs... ;)

I shall rephrase that - I suspect that something untoward has happened here but as I cannot prove it I must only air my suspicions.

Jog on NIMBY UP THE BLUES!!!!!

What are the plans exactly ?

Have to say the original plans for 7 storey blocks of flats made me question the level of development and I was certainly one hoping they wouldnt get agreed.

I really dont want to see huge blocks of flats sprouting up anywhere in Southend and I know the scale was objected to originally.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Told him!!!!!!!!

That was quicker than I expected! :p

 

[I 8 COLU]

thats the easy bit out of the way.

 

[Pubey]

Told him!!!!!!!!

not exactly sure calling him a NIMBY is even required.. seeing as he lives in hockley apparently!! he keeps on saying people will get something out of this, yep the local community around the RH area, the town southend for having more retail, homes and a successful football team

Did I not tell you to keep away from me

 

[Groyne Strain]

Whatever the rights and wrongs it still breaks my heart to think of Roots Hall, the stadium us supporters funded and help build, be nothing more than another faceless retail outlet. I'm feeling very maudling at this moment in time.

sorry i cant open the echo page at work, some macromedia thing.

anyway i think the RH area needs regenerating and that plans in place will be of a benefit to the local community
