tonymaillman Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Glad mine's paid for because there's no such thing as affordable housing nowadays Sid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Can't find out. Mentioned this earlier hoping McB might know, but he didn't comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Don't often use that section of road so am struggling to visualise it, is that the old garage site, if so it's Tesco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 It used to be the car sales pitch. Once belonged to Polar Ford I believe  Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Not quite right... Â It was the home of Grapenhall Motors (car repairs, MOT's etc) who sold up and relocated.........the car sales place was next door. Â It was sold and 'was' going to be a Tesco like Paul says but not sure why it hasn't happened yet. Not sure if the plans were submitted or if they were refused but there is already is a large 'late shop' nearby which sells most things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaillman Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 You're thinking of the CO-OP in Grappenhall ....... the one I mean is on Knutsford Road near Vicky Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Sorry Tony thought you meant the other part of Knutsford Road etc.... Â I don't know where abouts you mean, or where near Vicky Park either sorry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Point of clarification. The Tesco's one (work seems to have started on it.) is on the junction of East View/Bradshaw Lane, adjacent to where the Dog and Dart used to be. The one Tony is on about is where the old dairies used to be, and as has been said, latterly owned and used by Polar Ford as a car lot. Opposite the weir and next to the Co-op. (Town end) By the way, there are now THREE Co-ops on Knutsford Rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaillman Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Sorry folks my mistake I should've made it clearer which one I was referring to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Kennedy Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Understand quite a few are heading back home as they realise that the sums just don't add up, earning a minimum wage...if they are lucky....but with our high costs of living, coupled to which the economy in their own country will have greatly improved.

ex padgate girl Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yes Peter T but why do they let these builders build more houses so they can suffer the misery and losses when they are flooded. Surely there are other pieces of land they could build affordable housing on out of the flood area in Warrington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Greed on behalf of the Developers, and a lack of grey matter when it goes to planning. OR is it the Governments fault for not advising the councils of global warming and higher water levels? Â As I said earlier (somewhere), the ground floors are a lot higher than normal, so perhaps that is how they get round the legislation. Although how that stops the sewers getting flooded and the services getting cut off, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaillman Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Peter - your first sentence sums it all up greed and a total lack of brains sums up a lot of things in this country nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 There is a total disregard by Gov, of the risks posed by building in the flood plain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
