Dear Dan, you told me yesterday afternoon that you would be issuing a public statement that Razed Roof would be allowed back into The Playhouse theatre. No sign of one so far. Has it got lost in the post?

Do the Residents of Longbanks, who have been told they are not allowed to use their sheds for storage because of Fire Safety, get a rent rebate as when we took on the tenancy of these properties it also came with the shed if not why not. We have not been given any alternative for storage

Chris Vince, Dan has stolen a march on you, will you be doing something similar, perhaps with horses to reflect our(very) stable economy

How many will respond to the invite? How many will know about the invite? How many care about the invite? Not many they are only bothered about paying their bills, putting food on the table, and looking after their family. Serious matters not political point scoring. Playing politics results in a 22% turnout at the polls.

Pinky Its both sides of the road. Whoever thought that up needs to explain how you can bottleneck a road like that. Especially so close to both a fire and ambulance station.

I have only just come across this Q& A Link expired now closed. Some have mentioned the purchase of the Odeon site.Great news after all these years.l am trying to ask a stupid question in a democratic society.......How much did it cost from out of our taxes paid? Mo Ghadami has been holding out for years to squeeze the best possible price out of the Council .He knew that the Council needed this as the last piece of the jigsaw. Did we pay over the odds?
