However, they have failed to take into account the massive legacy effect this project would have on the district, not just from the commercial aspects but also with the youth of our district. The council says they have to follow an analytical process. They fail to realise that we have been waiting years for the council to follow this process, I am sorry but these are years wasted.… Read more
