P J Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 If only the Bay Horse was in London or we had a strong and decent Council. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/developers-who-destroyed-historic-london-pub-without-permission-could-be-ordered-to-rebuild-brick-by-brick-10212893.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I am going to agree with PJ only once though Other council compulsery purchase buildings then sell them at auction with a clause that they are brought into use by a certain date, others fund the restoration, although not sure I agree with that. There are lots of empty buildings, some of value to the town that are standing empty and the council should be doing something about it.

Evil Sid Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 like that office building in mersey street that has been for let for the last fifteen years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 and the lovely really old Packet House building on the corner of Bridge Street and Mersey Street along with the equally old wonky roof building next to it that date back to the 1700's and should be listed in my opinion. How long before they decide to knock that down or it accidentally goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 This is the Westminster Council notice served on the developer.... http://idoxpa.westminster.gov.uk/online-applications/files/A80125021A10CA542F1051C47BF01715/pdf/15_58789_M--3811695.pdf They will probably go bankrupt though I'm guessing to avoid the notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Been there once Coffee and believe me it is NOT easy especially if the council aren't interested. Might as well just bang your head on a brick wall.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Dizz, you need to present them with the history regarding it's use as a staging point and ticket office for the river packets. Mind you I do know what you mean about banging your head against a brick wall as most of the bloody dim witts probably think it was where pay packets were given out.

Dizzy Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Quite probably Algy :lol:Laughing aside though one would hope that the powers that be would be just as knowledgeable, if not more so, about the towns history and it's buildings than we mere mortals are so hopefully they are already aware of it's age and past. We can but hope anyway but probably best not to hold our breath.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
