Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
I can say for certain that it wasn't their police officers that turned up on Friday.....was it?
For similar reasons why is it that whilst the majority of the Stanley Green estate is within the boundary of CEC, a monstrosity of a huge new warehousing 'block' was built on the site (which is wholly to the south of the A555) of a previous 2-story relatively unobtrusive office facility (the land coverage/building capacity must be 6 perhaps 7 times the size of the structure it replaced) - this new building (as yet unoccupied/non-operational) dwarfs every other structure on the estate and even towers many many metres above the A555/A34 flyover. It will generate a huge increase in size and volume of movement of the vehicles using it - impact on the area, I'll let any reader make a guess but who/what authority approved planning (I honestly don't know but I can make a very good guess). Stanley Green was always intended to be a "light' industrial zone which has morphed into mixed commercial/retail/industrial but none the less still identifiable as 'light' - until the behemoth warehouse sprang up.
Must have been opportunities to issue FPN’s but will that be a sufficient deterrent?
It’s only once a week and maybe now it will be less of an issue.
