Duddys yard, right size for a tesco express or similar??

[Bluezorro]

sorry meant in my original and last post the facts were correct.

they then changed their minds about closing.

there was no misleading information given out by the owners.

staff working notice, premises for contracting side found and a lot of stock sold??

facts sure are straight.

ask any roofer in marple

old manager came back to re-establish the merchant business.
My son in-law tells me most of the roofers now use the builders merchants at rosehill.

2 million pounds is nothing.
Mount pleasant site in London is being sold with Boris Johnson's approval to developers for 870 million.
Kerching for our shares.

Hurrah for privatisation

I think bluezorro should find out facts before he writes his assumptions.
Just a thought!

So what are the facts/ assumptions? Remembering that as 2 months has gone the situation may have changed from the original post.

The old manager sure did mislead people,
the two staff who were being made redundant were working their notices.

I went into S Duddy today and while spending some money asked them when they were closing...... I was told that there are no plans to close

Could well be true, but let's not forget that businesses which are selling up always tend to say that the business will continue, so that they have the option of selling it as a going concern.

I was told that there are no plans to close and that a new manager has been brought in that is building the stock levels up.   

(Apparently the last manager decided for some reason they were closing and mislead a lot of people before moving on to a new job.   I got the feeling that they would not turn down a very good offer for the land without first considering it.)

Merchant shuts in march.
Staff being made redundant.
Contracting side going to operate from another unit.

Is this still the case? It's April, the gate is wide open and there is plenty of activity in the yard. At least, we still get our regular morning education in the finer points of the English vernacular from the contractors loading their trucks.

Chadwick Street is not in London. I was hoping that you would explain why it would cost £2M to relocate the PO in Marple. How has that figure been arrived at? Give us a breakdown.

[red666bear]

Quite rightly too. How does the Royal Mail justify the £2M price tag to relocate them?

Because they can ransom the Council?

[admin]

....the council will not stump up the 2 million pounds to relocate us as they cannot justify the expense to the electorate in these times of austerity.

Good one Dave. Tell us another.

The Council have behaved far from sensibly over this wider issue so far, to expect any different now is wishful thinking.

In what way have the Council 'behaved far from sensibly?'


Don't you think that there might be a little variation about what the Council actually wanted to achieve with the Planning Consent for Trinity/Chadwick street and what they really want to do with the site itself.

On a topical note I notice that Chadwick Street has appeared as a 'late item' on tonight's agenda for the Area Committee.

Morrisons express just opened in hazel grove on a6.
