New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

[Foley]

Yellows Forum 1 - 0 Friends of Stratfield Brake

A terrific win and £3000 saved for KPC.

That’s made my day.

I would say
People of Kidlington 1 0 Enemies of Stratfield Brake

One thing still bothers me tho why can't it just be taken off the agenda still think we need someone there at the meeting just in case

Once an agenda is published it is a public document and cannot be changed. I have emailed the clerk to check the post was genuine and it won't be discussed on Thursday

That's a shame. They should discuss that they have now withdrawn a request for a grant.

I wouldn't start celebrating just yet and I would still say that attending the meeting is important. EOSB can't be trusted for a single second!

 

[Billyox]

Can't wait for the fosb update on Facebook to explain why they have withdrawn

 

[DannyW]

I have received confirmation that the post from the Clerk on the next door site was genuine and the grant application will not now be discussed. I will not be going to the meeting now, it's really up to others if they want to do so

FoSB's accounts. After they have paid the latest legal fees (that have delivered sod all for them!) they'll have a couple of hundred quid in their account.

This is a desperate act to use desperately needed local money to fund their personal campaign. This is what Ms McIvor does. She runs from one pointless campaign to another, pretending to be the voice of the people, whilst using those very people's money to fund her.

It's surprising that FoSB haven't shared details of this grant application on their Facebook page or their website to garner support. You would have thought that they would extend the request for financial support amongst those that support them the most. Yet the website has only a Christmas message since the beginning of November, and their Facebook page has the same and a couple of photos of puddles on the Triangle at a time when vast areas of the country was flooded!

Its almost like they're trying to hide this application from people. I wonder why?

Prince on a Pinarello, surely public funds to pay a legal bill has got to be illegal!

 

[Oxymoron]

Groups opposed to the development at The Triangle have now submitted a demand that all documentation regarding the proposals should be produced in Welsh.

A spokesperson for the stadium company has stated that this will have little effect on the eventual outcome of the process as it is simply a Dai Version.....

Surely they'll give it the silent treatment?

I’m normally just a lurker on this thread, leaving it to people who actually know what they’re talking about to make valuable contributions, but the sheer cheek of that application has annoyed me too much. The obnoxious entitlement of these people to ask for public money, in the midst of one of the leanest periods of public spending in decades, to defend their completely unsupported position is just mindblowing. Utterly infuriating.

Somebody needs to put this on next door.

Hopefully OCC have done everything correctly .​

​

Grounds for judicial review​

Judicial review can be sought on the grounds that a decision is:

• illegal - arises when a decision-maker breaches a legal requirement, misdirects itself in law, exercises a power wrongly, or purports to exercise a power that it does not have, which is known as acting 'ultra vires';
• irrational - a decision may be challenged as unreasonable if it "is so unreasonable that no reasonable authority could ever have come to it";
• procedurally improper – a failure to observe statutory procedures or natural justice; or
• in breach of legitimate expectation – when a public body has failed to act in line with an expectation that it has created by its own statements or acts.

Surely to become "a member", there should be a members pack and nominal fee? That's how proper organisations, such as OxVox, do it...

I heard that if you say 'FoSB' three times you automatically become a member.
