        Breaking Hot News  

 

At a Cabinet meeting at the Town Hall, Monday 1st February the Council voted to accept the motions:

 

'That Cabinet should resolve to develop an Approval in Principle for a CPO (Compulsory Purchase Order). This approval in principle will lay out in detail all the conditions that, if they are met will enable the Council to make and seal a CPO', and, 'That liaison with HPWRT continues to ensure that they are assisted in drawing down public funding to produce fuller business plans and technical appraisals that might support their future restoration and use of the pier.
 

What this means is that the Council have cautiously  started  action towards the legal process of Compulsory Purchase. It is still early days and there is a large amount of work to be done but it does mean that we can start dealing with funders on a more meaningful basis. Specifically gaining  initial feasibility funding to appraise the engineering, architecture and business plans.  HPWRT
 
 
''But I remember when the council were full of HOT AIR way back in the 70's for plans about the proposed stade''?????????.......
