Judging by the plans and the artists impressions in those plans they are not aiming at your average Lib-Dem voter. There are no detached or semi-detached houses with gardens in the plan, rather, a dense package of apartments, for rent, or which are "affordable" and "social" housing. A modern day "Council Estate", if you will. That tends to attract people who tend to vote Labour. And it needs less than 200 votes for one of the Lib Dem councillors to lose her majority, and about 600 votes for the "legendary" Jon Hunt to lose his. Jon Hunt being the legendary opponent to every change to happen in Perry Barr. He opposed the reintroduction of speedway in 2006 and now he's effectively opposing the removal of it. Don't you just love politicians? The only problem is, that whatever he opposes, happens anyway, so don't hold your breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that the current lease expires in 2026. So what Corbally are basically saying is that what they want to do after 2026 is to build houses. And they want to start the planning process now so that the pieces of the jigsaw are ready to put together when the lease runs out. And on their heads be it. Planning permission still needs to be granted. They can submit all the lovely plans that they want, but if permission isn't granted, then the plans go nowhere. There are 8 or 9 huge plots of land in that area (e.g. Wellhead Lane) ready to build on right now, that require no demolition at all, and my feeling is that the Planners would want these to be used up before any other land is repurposed. Let's hope that the planners take inspiration from Rugby Borough Council in standing up to property speculators. But as with all things political, I'm not holding my breath. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used r/r for in meeting Vs Glasgow in October so I'd assume facility is available to Birmingham. Presumably not Leicester since they've replaced him now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what state UK speedway will be in by then, there is usually always someone looking for riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morris hasn't been found guilty of failing a drug test though, he has pleaded guilty of refusing to provide one, there will be some who see that as an admission of a failed one had he chosen to take of course. One question though, do we know the reason why he refused to take a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Does Morris' ban mean Brummies can still include him as their number 1? And if so do they get a 'facility'? Fridays fixture probably too soon after the scb statement to change the Lawson guest booking. Edited August 17, 2023 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to be of the opinion people make mistakes and deserve a second chance. Being from a deprived area where drugs are rife might have a part in that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
