If the developer clearly has no funds as a result of the recession then an alternative solution must be found."<br /><br />As was pointed out above, the developer was supposed to build a spine road as part of the original development plan: look at the original planning documents and the words "spine road" are repeated rather a lot. As such, you'd think the developer would have budgeted for this. That the council - for some unfathomable reason - decided not to make completion of the road a condition of the permission (despite seeing it as essential to the development) has made things even worse.<br /><br />As for whether a solution "must" be found...well, the residents of Brymbo and Tanyfron (and the new development for that matter) seem to have survived without the road so far. The addition of a few hundred yards of tarmac between the new development and the bottom end of Brymbo isn't exactly going to make the area suddenly flow with milk and honey by itself. A more pressing question is what happened to the light industrial units and other facilities that were originally supposed to be part of the development as well...John Wilkinson's Ghostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-85526312327076442532012-03-11T15:07:03.676+00:002012-03-11T15:07:03.676+00:00Monday's are generally inconvenient for those ...Monday's are generally inconvenient for those who work outside of the town centre. However I've no doubt that you have plans to extend this debate to include a wider demographic.<br />One suggestion I'd like to make however would be to replace the single-cause petition with a simple poll? Perhaps allowing a platform for both sides of the discussion to be acknowledged would add a little more validity to your claim to speak on behalf of the local public?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-18663805500724026032012-03-08T19:18:40.975+00:002012-03-08T19:18:40.975+00:00The key word in anon's comment is 'if'...The key word in anon's comment is 'if'...
