  • That didn't end will either.   He got sprayed with CS gas and spent all night crying in to his super bock.

    Strike my previous remarks, I thought it was sited elsewhere.   It's nice on the eye that part of Leverhulme, I'd equate it to the grassy area of Moss Bank near Barrow Bridge, OK it's a bit boggy an

    The Beehive Mill is an 'eyesore' according to one of our (arsehole) representatives in council, anyway it's been earmarked for demolition and development - compulsorily purchase it and build it there.

The Lycra isn't flattering, but the padding is welcome!

Isn't the driving force behind this a half-crazed by looming middle age councillor with a penchant for lycra longing for somewhere to whizz around on his snazzy carbon fibre bike?

 

I dunno about this, I agree it's a quagmire and not much use for owt, but I also think it's iffy using public money for a facility that's both niche and will cost an admission charge to use, it's unlike say the skatepark in town (free) or The Jason Kenny Centre (not niche)...

 

The cycle paths could do with improvement, especially where they're interrupted by built up areas - there's hardly any markings or signage to pick up the route, I've a half-decent nose for direction yet have found this a problem more than once.

 

If anyone finds those route maps useful they're a better person than me, favvers a six year old has been let loose with the felt tips.

Can they charge? I thought the land had been donated to the good people of Bolton by Lord Leverhulme.

Breighmeters being all nimby :)

In all serious I feel your pain. If they're as noisy as the cunts in Lycra who ride 4 abreast and ruin my Sunday morning shouting to one another then you'll need triple grazing.

Lord DonutAndPastieCheeks CuntFuckObeseCouncilCunt Morris and his fucking fat, horrid cheeks can grow ever larger as his diabetes hits crippling levels.

 

He can't win with you lot, can he?

 

Proposals of new facilities lead to accusations of backhanders.

If the proposals are rejected, then he's accused of destroying the town.

 

He might as well do whatever he can get away with.

Yes, that particular area of swamp was actually given on lend/lease (400 guineas per annum and Breightmet's best porker that year) by the lesser known Baron Miserwump - the owner of Rosehill Tannery.

 

Nah, I definitely read there'll be a charge, not particularly cheap either, think it was mooted at around £3-4 for a kid, dunno adult costs.

Traf just admitted that he's one of Jabba Morris's henchmen and sups from his milky teets.

Last bits true, this will be pay to ride, there's plenty of track down there to ride for free, just not round in laps etc.

Was originally planned for new house farm, there was a protest against that and it was thrown out only to re appear across the road here a few months later.

There's plenty of derelict space that could do with something like this elsewhere, even in the locality there's the old st osmunds site, but that probably involves too much cost. Not sure why it says former football pitches either, they are still football pitches.

St Osmund's is too small but they could put it in the town centre as there's plenty of unused space available.

Yeh, just meant do something with that site and put a cycle track in it rather than on the football pitches as an example of putting it somewhere where it would improve the area rather than somewhere it will have a negative effect.

Someone has cut some of the small trees down there- something's happening. Slowly.

Approved, vote 11 to 9.

Blonde woman clasping her hands on the front row during the vote. She didn't raise her hand. Can't be certain about this but it looks like the same woman who was on the top desk at the public meeting that councilor John Bryne (wanker) held. At that meeting she came over as surly and acted like everyone in the room was plebs. Bryne came straight out and said he thought it was a good plan. She was asked which way would she vote? She said that under the law she can not say because of her position on the planning panel. She got a lot of stick from the floor because the impression she gave was that she was for the plan. Turns out she wasn't.

Good news

 

A nice new facility in a deprived area

 

Well done Clifford you bent bastard

And they'll all get voted in again....

Something is rotten in the state of Bolton.

Anyone know when it might open? Been chroming up the Raleigh Chopper ready for a runout.

To be fair, the old bumps that surrounded the greens of the pitch and putt were superb for doing BMX stunts.

On a serious note that video looks dodgy to say the least. Who are those two?, looks like he counted the vote then raised his hand and she followed?

Two Farnworth councillors.

 

Now, I've no strong feelings either way on this, I like that park as it is, but the cycle track may improve it.

 

But there's definitely something going on with that vote.

Apparently, they are both Farnworth councillors . The woman asked for a deferment while other areas where looked at. One of those areas was Harper Green, where people actually wanted it. The general consensus on their actions is, it was already decided this was happening, they had hoped the vote would go through anyway so that at least they could say to the farnworth people, " well we tried" , but, on counting the raised hands,realised there wasn't enough so had to vote for it, then, even though she asked for a deferment as she wasn't sure about the location, she followed suit and voted for.

 

That's not my opinion like, I don't know, but it does seem dodgy the way they do it. Thy could have also been day dreaming and realised what they were doing at the last minute I suppose.

Isn't one of them Noel Spencer ?
