www.moorpool.org.uk - Grainger want it all...

Grainger have announced their intentions with a limited planning application. (details at the MRG website) 

From many of the comments on Saturday, Grainger won't stop there, other applications will follow and now they have dropped any pretence of investment in the Moorpool estate community we can now see that they are only after the profit, leave us to deal with the liabilities left behind.
If this application is approved we could face losing everything else, the hall, the bowling green, tennis courts and the pond. Grainger won't stop until they have squeezed every penny in profit from our estate. Destruction of allotments, some worked for 100 years, loss of the open spaces we currently enjoy and removal of garages we could all use is the threat we face. 
Investment is what's needed. Allotments, garages and the preservation and maintenance of the estate must come first.  Tenants need repairs and maintenance that improves their homes, not the slap-dash cheap work that we hear so much about.
This blog has collected many opinions and comments about Grainger's plans which reflect that wholehearted rejections of their profiteering.  The planning application will be sumbitted soon and we all need to be prepared to take the time to make the authorities aware of our opinions.  Please have a look at the Moorpool Regeneration Group's website which is there to help us get the investment the estate needs.
