Fcuking outrageous... fcuking government might want to join the rest of the world... 10 years to make a simple fcuking decision, and they want more time! Try doing that in business... you would be shown the door in seconds...

Noiw back on the Argus web site:

Albion stadium decision delayed
By Damien Pearse
The decision on whether Brighton and Hove Albion can build a new football stadium at Falmer has been delayed.

A Government spokesman confirmed the announcement culd be delayed for just over two weeks.

Hazel Blears, Communities Secretary, had been expected to give the decision on Monday July 9.

advertisementBut the announcement has been put back and will now be made on or before Wednesday July 25 to allow the newly appointed minister to digest all the relevant material.

Read a full report about the delay in the Argus on Thursday.

Only five years actually - the planning appliucation was called in on 9 August 2002

Calm down folks. Our Dept of State has issued a moratorium on new submissons be issued to our new Secretary of state as well. Its so new Ministers can get upto speed on policies, new initiatives etc. I know its important for us, but to Blears its probably way down the list of priorities

Last time things were not done correctly and look what happened. Its only another 2 weeks and this time it will be watertight.

 

[Ding Dong !]

I blame Blair !!!!!

For leaving office when he did .

Send our boys and girls into an illegal war and give all our goodies away to those nasty Belgiques over a pint and a pie though,
f***ing champagne socialist f*** knuckles,

No she has only been in post for five days and she will be swamped with information from civil servants on every subject that her portfolio cover so hardly suprising that she is hardly likely to be in a position to give such an important decision her full consideration by the 9th (by which time she will only have been in place for a working week). Up until Monday she had no interest in planning whatsoever. Expecting her to make an announcement of this magnitude based on nothing more than a written submission is, quite frankly, expecting a bit much. If she was opening a school fair enough, but this is a biggy and she might even have asked to be briefed in person by civil servants over it, which takes arranging.

Alternatively it may be so far down her agenda that there are more important things for her to be getting on with and she is not likely to meet the previous deadline of the 9th and so it has been put back.

If its anything like my department all decisions and arrangements that were in place on Friday are now past history and up for review by the replacement. She is a brand new Secretary of State so will be feeling her way in a bit at the moment. She is still trying to get up to speed with ALL the issues covered by her Department (of which this is only one)

She has also been involved in the Cobra meetings resulting from the attempted bombings, so I think she has quite a lot on her mind at the mo (not that I want to make excuses for her, I don't really like her, but that may change on the 25th)

what a f***ing mess

Perhaps if her spineless c*nting government wasn't so soft on these f***ing nutters the ginger shit bag wouldn't have to keep having these sloworm meetings,
alot on her mind my arse,she should live in the real world,it's ordinary working folk that are getting blown sky high by these racists not f***ing politicians

The way I see it is this, do we want an announcement on the 9th July that can be immediately challenged on the very reasonable grounds that a new Secretary of State couldn't possibly have been informed enough to make OR do we want to wait a couple of weeks longer for a decision that shuts the NIMBY fuckers up ONCE AND FOR ALL?

I know which option I'd prefer.

Sorry, only five years... what pace!

 

[logan89]

Why is it a mess? Would you on starting a new job know everything there is to know about it. And if you did think you knew it all, would the outside world believe you. I very much doubt it.

For the sake of another 2 weeks, and thereby stopping any excuse for an appeal by LDC and others. I think the delay sensible and another crushing blow to LDC and Falmer Parish

I agree with all that but why oh why were civil servants still saying yesterday that July 9 was on. It was surely obvious that planning decision deadlines would slip with the cabinet changes. The department should have announced delays last week.
I would also caution too much optimism at the moment. We were assured by all that our case was strong when the local plan inquiry was held. Then no worries after the inquiry into alternative sites and it all went pear shaped. I'm with the pessimists on here who won't be happy until we walk into the stadium for the first match.

But the same kind of things were said last time; "it has taken time, but the decision will be 100% watertight"... as it turned out, it took fcuking ages, and the rationale was not watertight...

 

[Silent Bob]

At least we have a date and it is only nigh on two weeks more
And this surely is the last delay?

Which will surely mean they will be doubly careful this time not to make any mistakes?

I blame Blair !!!!!

enough is enough

It's time to start asking the hard questions.

Like who was the bastard that broke a mirror, opened an umbrella and had a black cat walk across their path ten years ago today.

It's all your fault you sod!!
