Retrospective consents for monstrous and noisy intrusions-like hotel air conditioning units, are a massive bone of contention for residents.
A local resident contacted the Dame's assistant to complain about proceedings at a very recent planning meeting.(The Dame is at a health farm in Surrey)
It seems the subject of discussion concerned large, noisy and ugly aircon units for a hotel in Ashburn Gardens.
One councillor, Cllr Paul Warrick(yes, the pompous one who abhors contact with residents) it said to have gone on the record implying commercial interests in the Rotten Borough prevail over residents.
Residents really need to get a grip! If your councillor has this insolent view then replace him with one who fights for resident's rights.
In Stanley Ward residents have Pooter Cockell...far too busy ever even to answer letters from residents....Cllr Pascall who has rarely been sighted.... and Cllr Warrick who disdains contact with residents and has made his views clear.
It is scary that a busy local solicitor and councillor should feel large commercial interests override those of residents. It bodes badly for those residents fighting to save the Odeon if Warrick's bad attitude is prevalent amongst other councillors.

A TYPICAL STANLEY WARD CLLR-QUITE INVISIBLE |
It is time to kick out these useless and over remunerated councillors
Why is the Dame surprised to learn that commercial interests are more important than residents in K&C? It has never been different.
ReplyDeleteThe hierarchy is
* personal interests of the top Councillors (this comes First)
* commercial interest
* residents
There are a few Councillors who are selfless and not beholden to commercial interests. The names include Cllrs Borwick,Coleridge, Freeman,Mills, Foreman and Dent-Code. Not an exhaustive list but mercifully there are a few public service individuals who have survived the Cockell regime
ReplyDeleteForeman............ How much does he earn in his Holland park home? I think he earns more than the rest of the Labour group.
DeleteThat is not hard as most of the Labour group is on the dole or benefits
DeleteYou have to be Cllr Palmer:your awful grammar gives you away!!
DeleteI fought spilling wis hes giv a way
DeleteYes, these are the exemplary ones. The others are mainly there to pick up the £12k or so a year to boost up their pensions.
ReplyDeleteI see that Warrick lists Hobury St as his place of work. Does he also live there and if so should he be running a business from home?
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see a Baldessari on here. The Dame always had impeccable taste
