Eade Bay Sales Part 2 Going Ahead

 

Telford and Wrekin Council are going ahead with their planned sale of the HQ and the 14 acre site.

 

 

 

 

It must be fair to question the timing of this sale. When property sales, both domestic and commercial are at their lowest in decades, when the credit crunch has not only bitten, but has taken a large amount of casualties, is this the right time to sell, especially as recession is looming on the horizon.

 

This sale and the sales of this and the following

 

Hadley Park East

Emerald Crown Point

Stafford Park 5

Halesfield

4^th + 5^th Floor Plaza Two

 

are being handled by GVA Grimley, just what do they stand to make out of this?

 

What do the Council intend to make out of this?

 

And where do they intend to build the New HQ, maybe on top of the Wrekin so they can look down on us all.

 

What threat does this now pose to Telford Town Park with developments around it, roads through it and anything else that is planned?

 

Questions need to be asked about Telford and Wrekin Councils priorities and their ability to handle a project of this size.

 

 

OFFICES BUILT

 

A recent project handled by the Council was the building of offices on St.Georges industrial estate, this went over budget and a car park in Donnington was then sold to fill in the budget shortfall.

 

 

 

CAR PARK SOLD

 

Then of course we have the last Eade Bay Sales that were conducted covertly, has seen business premises sold from under the feet of businesses, then those that were withdrawn from the initial sale relisted for sale. At the admittance of the Leader, this was handled incorrectly.

 

It has been reported that Telford and Wrekin Council has struck up a £22.3 million housing deal with Morgan Sindal, yet the Council has made no reference to this.

 

So just what does this deal include and will Councillor Andrew Eade tell us?

 

Whilst they plan to ensure their own comfort, timing is of the essence, but when you have a guaranteed income from the taxpayer, regardless of the financial state of the economy it leads to an element of contempt for them.

 

Whilst,

 

Cost of heating your home increases

Cost of Carers Support is increased

Meals on wheels increased

Funds removed from vital community services

Whilst roads crumble beneath our tyres

Developers displaying an interest in a Care home at Wappenshall

 

They choose to revel in grandiose plans of self comfort.

 

 

 

Yet, you ask a question about Social Housing, The Leader of The Council, MP Mark Pritchard, wannabe MP Tom Biggins all ignore legitimate communication.

 

On the issue of the Housing I will compliment Cllr George Ashcroft and Cllr Denis Allen who offered assistance, but must question every other Cllr who not only received my email, but has also had it listed for a formal reply, but not one has done so.

 

Maybe Social Housing is not important to you and I will list the names of those contacted in the forum so residents know who did not answer, despite being told to officially reply.

 

It is important to those you represent, those who voted for you and those who pay your allowances.

 

At least MP David Wright is on the ball with regards a housing summit.

 

 

Andrew Eade said,

 

 

He certainly did that, but the Tories have achieved the above in only 18 months.

 

He also says

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a question for MP Mark Pritchard.

 

Why do you not respond to issues of Homelessness and Social Housing? Having made a number of attempts to contact you by phone, email and through your office, we cannot get a reply.

 

Do you think that since PPC Alison Wedgwood stood down you’re home and dry?

 

Quite frankly I regret taking your suggestion and seeing if she could see the Wrekin from her house. At least when she was working on her campaign, you were contactable.
