Andrew Pope and Denise Wyatt have opposed this proposed development for years. Above is just one headline they've helped to generate - this time on the front page. Other posts on this website prove this.
Commenting on the failure to actually build it, or to get final planning permission, Denise says:
"Thank you to all those people in Old Redbridge who voted for me in this year's Council elections.
You all know that Andrew and I have fought very hard against the Test Lane Development.
In contrast, the two Labour Redbridge councillors have been weak in their opposition or totally absent, and have been consistently compromised by the Labour Party and the Labour Council Leader Simon Letts who wants the money from the sale of the Council's land.
When I challenged him over the sale of the Council's land for the development, Simon Letts said in the Daily Echo in April that the Arts Complex was already paid for (see the article below).
Yet on Wednesday he went begging back to Full Council for approval to spend yet another £1.8m!*
So how are residents, already offended by his suggestion that they pay for a Judicial Review, expected to believe him?
They just don't believe this Labour Council.
They are failing and have the wrong priorities."
*Councillor Andrew Pope did not support the Council approving this money, and he is quoted in the Echo opposing it.
