The council is determined to concrete over every square foot of the borough. Their plans target almost every green space left in the Redcar/Marske area.
They should pull down the Coatham bowl, the skate place and the leisure centre, 3 eye sores, that make Redcar even a bigger dump, but leave the links alone
Just got my leaflet through the door tonight with the list of all the things that the council have done regarding Coatham and other things. Lets hope that the showing of this film in the commons on the 5th of May, opens a can of worms for these crooks that they cant close.
does any one know how much the council were paid from the film company when they filmed redcar and what will the bonus be spent on. EXPENSES FOR STAYING AT POSH HOTELS FOR MEETINGS AND AWARDS FOR BEING A GREEN COUNCIL ,ALSO FOR TRAVEL..
To add to my earlier comments,the council are forever closing this road beacuse of high winds,sand and flooding on the Majuba rd corner with the golf club,each time they do this there is no consulation with residents, who then need to negotiate around these barriers to be able to park at their homes.They constantly forget about the golf club and its access,or the caravan site.
The Barriers fall over in the wind and are just left.The barriers then become a cacane for the boy racers.
Just seen your video after discussing with you today on the golf course.The only positive to come out of the credit crunch is this land for the near future will never get built on. I live right on the corner of High street west and majuba road and take it from me if they do build house there within five years they will be empty , why, Because within one year anybody with a car will have the paint work removed by the sand, The drainage of the house will fail because of the sand etc etcs
Vera Baird is a disgrace. As solicitor general(and given that Britain is a signatory of anti-corruption legislation) she was supposed to represent the government at a recent meeting of this anti-corruption watchdog on the continent. But given that Britain breached the anti-corruption legislation with arm deals to Saudi, she thought better of it and didn't attend. THIS IS PART OF HER JOB; THIS IS WHAT SHE IS PAID TO DO. Doesn't fill you with confidence, does she?
There is no need to develope the Common except for the financial exploitation of the people. Much of our Common land as a nation was gifted to the people & stolen with no oppossition from our so called, elected officials Good luck in standing up to the developers.Mobilise the masses. Take tour camera down & find Sand Lizards! Nesting Terns! Great Crested Newts! Slow Worms! Smooth Snakes! Etc Etc Etc They are bound to be there. They would be found if it was wanted to be blocked by Big Brother.
Well done the Labour Party in Redcar and nationally are a disgrace. The pursuit of money and greed, no doubt with silver passing, unseen between private hands. Application should be made for Registration as Common Land of the whole area, this would prevent any development regardless of the greedy silver passing! I will try to look up to see how an application can be made and come back on this.
Good Stuff Craig. Keep after them. I gave the Private Eye piece to my son to get the issue discussed among younger folk ... no wonder they are disillusioned with All politics. When one sees that our own MP, Vera Baird, Solicitor General, supervises the demolition of the Legal Aid system for the low-paid; then we see how far removed from ordinary folks existence our Business-orientated political class are. This film of yours is explosive. Rock On!
Well, well. The council being found guilty of holding an unlawful planning meeting and the planning permission being kicked out in the High Court by a High Court Judge!
I saw the Private Eye piece on Wednesday.Its obvious now, by the way that NONE of the local press have attempted top cover the story of the suppressed document, that theyre up to their necks in it with this corrupt local authority! A story of this magnitude, that has been reported about in this most prestigious magazine and not one local paper, radio station ot TV station want to run with it to inform the masses? This spiders web spreads further than anyone could imagine.
New properties are being built at a greater density with poor materials in order to line the pockets of the few. Many of the new properties in Stockton, Middlesbrough and Hartlepool are lying empty because there isn't a demand for expensive cramped accommodation in the North East when you can buy a good solid house for less than the price of a new one-bed flat. It is sickeningly evident that corruption is rife.
There's also the issue of animal rights -wild and domestic. What's the track record on the developer; has he ever lived/ worked/ walked in the area? Middlesbrough has already given enough to post-industrial development; she's entitled to a peaceful green reward for the decades of steel she's given to the modern world. Good on you, battlers; more strength to you!

Struth - enclosure laws are still trampling peoples' rights of way. "Common" means belonging to all -- is the Council's re-writing the English language? They're ignoring some common rights - and common sense issues - like the need to preserve every green, open area in a suffocating world, and the right- and NEED - of people to have access to exercise in an increasingly sedentary and ageing world.(Is the Council overriding its own health protocols)? Jan ..2
I have lived in this Borough for 72 years and this current council is the worst one I have ever known .They spend most of their time tittle- tattling each other in The Gazette who regularly give them the space .People are sick of them .Why dont they serve the people as they were elected to do so ? Hold your ground at Coatham , you have our support .
I see all to well as developer of Real estate myself, the mayhem and destruction caused to the environment. When Power and Greed = Money! Corruption is rife and is everywhere in all developing countries and in all industries. Not to mention in local politics, when building companies pay favours to individuals so as to assist developers in seeking approvals to build housing estates. Contracts are won on favour generally speaking. (CONT / BELOW)
The making of your films provides and allows for a greater audience ,sometimes necessary to stop the wanton destruction to the environment, and the loss of normal liberties to the public in general. I say to you "Congratulations" and wish the people of Coatham and Marton sucess in maintaining their rights to have some of Englands Greenery on their own doorstep.

I attended the first showing of this film last Sunday.When 500 people turn up to watch a film and sit in a meeting about this unjust scheme in Coatham it means one thing..the public dont want it. When was the last time ANYONE had that many people attend a public meeting in this town for anything. These corrupt bastards in our town hall need driving out and exposing now. We are supposed to be free but this film shows that we aren't.
People in Hartlepool have had to suffer the same kind of tactics because they opposed the Ghost Ships. That was kicked out there because the people stood firm and I hope that the people of Redcar do the same.
Im sick of the corrupt in our town halls inflicting upon the people the things that they want, rather than giving the people what they want.
Guantanamo bay in Redcar! and the person who said it THE MP, has done absolutely fuck all to stop it! Guantanamo Bay in a small North Eastern town, this is just unbelievable.
WOW!!! Do we live in 21st century England or 1960's Russia? This is fuckin' terrible. The old woman made my heart sink with shame and sadness to think that this knid of thing could happen and people dont do anything to stop it. Where can I watch the rest of this film?
Great postings! Public screenings of the 50 min film are being currently being set up in and around the Redcar area. And eventually the whole thing will go on youtube. cheers.
we built few small dirt jumps on the old golf course...
the next day they were gone. its bloody stupid, its still the same to this day!

A public disgrace on our doorstep. Let's hope this film has helped expose the corrupt and the greedy and speeds their downfall.
Let's see the council offer Atonement now to the people of Coatham.
