They are simply putting forward some land for development to raise finance for their own business. The developer is the one who decides what is built, and providing the development fulfills certain criteria, I have no problem. The fact is, the council seems happy to allow the developers to do whatever they like in West Berkshire. I made it clear what would happen at NRC if the affordable housing criteria was removed from the LDF document, and despite the council shouting me down at the time, what's going to happen over the nextcouple of months? A reduction in the amount of affordable housing??? After the council said it was protected and I was raising a non issue??? It just shows they cannot be trusted on anything they say. (the council cannot be trusted)

I actually type "FOR" and then select the forum from the address bar.

Yes they were.

That is rarely the case.

It wasn't pleasant viewing on the news either.

I know, but we can only speculate as to what has been said. If it turns out to be something else, action will be taken. Accountability happens almost everywhere, WBC is simply an exception to the rule!!!

Allegedly Griffins now have a new sausage coming out next week.

Nice one Dannyboy! I would go the extra miles for some of those?

Quite a lot of them as well.

I cannot believe the amount of drivel coming from some of the posts on this subject! I have to say that I am with Richard Garvie on this matter.

It is an absolutely terrible thing to have happened and NRC have handled the whole thing in a very professional and caring way. They are giving racegoers a 100% refund of their tickets even though legally they only have to give a 50% refund according to their Terms & Conditions. They have lost an absolute fortune and yet their main concern is for their racegoers, the horses and all those who work with, train and own the horses.

Apparently it will have an impact on the new racecourse development causing a very probable delay in it's inception.

In the dealing that I and my family have had with NRC I cannot priase them enough and feel for them at the moment.

The Grand National deaths are totally different. In this case 2 horses died in very unusual circumstances and, at this moment inexplicable circumstances, whilst parading round the ring where very few accidents occur.

My thoughts are with all those involved x

Only you could turn the death of two horses into a party political broadcast.

Astounding and in very bad taste.

I'd rather the race course disappeared, but then, I don't like horse racing.

He was replying to someone else that made an accusation about the RC. I would say astounding about you, but it isn't.

Why would you rather the racecourse dsappeared? What are your reasons for thinking that racing is cruel?

Because I think HR is bent as a sport and animals are being exploited for 'fun'.

We've gone from the tragic death of two horses to peddling his usual "(the council cannot be trusted)" guff.

Very poor taste.

I agree, but it wasn't of RG's making. He was defending the RC.

Exactly the same here...

He replied to a question in a previous post?

Go on User take your medicine you know how bad you get when you don't? There's a good lad?

Yes. With a party political rant in poor taste.
