Councillors approve Black Road scheme

by Ben Turner
9/ 7/2008

PLANS to build a ten-bed young people’s hostel on Black Road were approved by councillors in controversial circumstances this week.

At a packed town hall meeting, Macclesfield Borough Council’s planning committee narrowly approved an application by Dane Housing to replace Black Road Community Centre with homeless accommodation, alongside five "affordable" homes – after more than two hours of discussion.

   The Black Road resident Nimbist objection was that it will lead to MORE anti-social behaviour. Does this not tell these people something already that of get your own kids under control before complaining about others! The kids in the park aren't shipped in from another county they are your children BRARA! Once again Winterton turncoated good job I had his original letter of support from February this year to give to the council countering his second letter to them. Is your memory still causing you problems Mr Winterton!

   this sounds like it could be a good thing but what are the 22 conditions that must be met? do they include sanctions on the youth that will use this service? i would hope it will be a zero tolerance zone for the best interest of both youth and neighbours and not a druggy flop house!!
