Red Cow Continues

On the 16th of March Jeremy wrote to Stacey Salter complaining about the current state of the site.

He had a reply today from Sara Jenkins who is covering Stacey Salter's maternity leave.

Thank you for your email.

Please be advised that I am aware of the state of the Red Cow Inn site and was out taking photographs this time last week to confirm that the developer had once again failed to comply with our request to tidy the site.

I have produced a Witness Statement and was due to meet the Solicitor today with a view to submitting that documentation to the County court to secure an Injunction against the developers.

Unfortunately the Solicitor is on sick leave today but we hope that he will be back tomorrow and we will be able to progress this matter then.  Please be assured that I am doing all I can to resolve the situation, and will update you once I have spoken with Legal Services tomorrow.

In the meantime if you have any further queries, please contact me.

Red Cow Site Legal Action

Once again the site owner claimed to the Council that the site had been cleared.  That was on 7th January.  However a Council visit on the 9th January found that this was not the case and the Council is now pursuing legal action to secure compliance with the Untidy Site notice.

The full letter is on the outside noticeboard.
