Firbeck in Waiting July 2009

On 22nd April,2009,Cllr,Ian Grant announced at the ouncil Meeting that "talks are going on with H,C,A.(English Partnership) concerning Firbeck and Findon".Today is July 17th and we have yet to be offered clarification of that statement which was as much a shock to the Labour Councillors present as it was to myself,Hazel Scully and my colleague for the Campaign against demolition.West Lancs,now Borough,Council,has forced worry and uncertainty on 300 residents for two years and still no light at the end of the tunnel.The wait for the decision on the Kirkby Iniatitive considerably slowed plans for Skelmersdale Town Centre but Cabinet have plans only known to them,plans involving our future,but secret. WHY?
We object to being looked on as second class citizens who can be forced from the homes they CHOSE to live in.Firbeck is a decent estate where people are happy and who should be allowed to live their lives in peace and security - Peace and Security being denied us by W.L.B.C for how long; months,years?
Hazel Scully, Chair and Spokesperson,Firbeck and Findon Campaign.
