Off Topic Humber Street village of shops, bars, restaurants, flats and offices now a step closer

Usual HDM standard. There's a whole bundle of add ons and obligations that go with it.

 

I know that feeling well but at £12k plus some annual business rates they can probably afford to sit on it a while until better times come around. It just seems so ludicrously cheap that there has to be a catch.

 

Do you know what they are?

Ignore this question I've just been on HDM website. Apologies.

 

I was there on Saturday for a gig at Fruit. It's an ideal place to liven up for CoC 2017.

 

Theres a new block of apartments going up in Wellington Street which has had many problems with planning yet Humber street got passed with little public consultation.

I've done loads of work in many old building around that area and unless the council are involved in the actual process they make it nearly impossible to get planning, I wonder why that is?

Staples have a sale of brown envelopes on at the minute.

 

Plenty of pigs with their noses in this particular trough I can guarantee.

 

I hate our councillors.

 

Do you know them?

 

Re phrase.
I hate their bumbling approach to the city

 

Who did you vote for in the local elections?

 

Not this lot.
We need a younger more forward thinking set of councillors imo.

 

You wouldn't believe the amount of nit picking little bastards on most councils, they get a sense of self importance, as though they are some sort of cabinet MP, when in fact most get elected on a lie to keep the streets clean, or the bins emptied every week.

Councils were formed hundreds of years ago for two purposes, to ensure the removal of rubbish filling the streets and organise street lighting, the sooner they realise that's all they are reasonable at, the better.

30 years ago most Hull Councillors worked at Hull City council as bus drivers or bin men or were shop stewards, they got time off from work but never got paid, they used to get postage and phone call allowance that was it, I've read today that they have claimed £2m in expenses, on ****ing what?

It's a pigs trough now, most are only in it for the money, even the Labour Councillors are are now as bad as the Tory bastards in the East Riding where I live

 

Theyve been trying to look into the contracts that have been awarded to private companies by HCC.
These contracts where awarded by individual councillors without an officer there to oversee proceedings and surprise surprise they can't find no records of these meetings and agreements over the past 20 to 30 years.
It runs into hundreds of millions of public money.

 

I worked at a kitchen company about 25 years ago we fitted an 8 grand kitchen in the house he was having built in East Hull, he went from a two up two down to this detached house, when we got there, there were three or four council vans with joiners, plumbers plasterers working on his house.

He is still a councillor
