BTW, it didn't have much merit in the first place, as you say.<BR/><BR/>The desire to push ahead by council is driven, in my view, not by the needs of the citizens of the borough but by the desire of the council to avoid litigation from Arrowcroft.<BR/><BR/>The question therefore arises, why did the council (albeit a Labour one at the time) get themselves into this mess in the first place?<BR/><BR/>Why should we, the cistizens of Croydon, suffer for their incompetence?<BR/><BR/>KenKen Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568488818950912374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790444218199055346.post-33741932623297584052007-06-16T09:45:00.000+01:002007-06-16T09:45:00.000+01:00Dear KenAs time goes on, there seems less and less...Dear Ken<BR/><BR/>As time goes on, there seems less and less merit in the Arrowcroft scheme (not that there was much to start with---all "regeneration" and "vision" propaganda of the usual sort).<BR/><BR/>Could it be that the Council are anxious to give Arrowcroft the land via the CPO so that Arrowcroft don't find themselves in trouble for defaulting on promises to BPA and others?<BR/><BR/>Why on earth should the future of this important site be influenced or decided by such factors?<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>Gordon Thompson, AddiscombeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
