JCDBigBear 10,830 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The information is good and it proves that there is no reason not to build housing on the Westthorn site. The whole deal reeks of corruption. I wrote to the Chief Exec of the City Council and also to the Chief Auditor. The Chief Exec wrote back advising that an internal investigation would not be appropriate while the Euro Commission is deliberating the point. I will be writing back demanding an internal enquiry no matter what the Euro Comm outcome. I also wrote regarding the other land at the potato dome which they got from GCC and for some reason (which I will find out) my enquiry will be dealt with under Environmental Information Regs 2004???? What that has to do with my enquiry is a mystery to me at this time. On another issue, I still haven't received a response from the GGHB regarding Lennoxtown land sale.

soulboy 2,518 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 After reading the blog I did a bit of digging and found this don't know if it's good or bad news but I believe on page 48 the yellow area on the furthest right is westhorn but would occasional inorganic and organic contamination reduce the price of the land by £3,5 million. I have no idea what inorganic and organic contamination means. But having said that why is GCC so keen to avoid telling people by FOI what it means.http://data.glasgow.gov.uk/storage/f/2013-08-22T11%3A08%3A56.953Z/clyde-gateway-green-network-strategy-2007.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how 'occasional contamination' wipes out 84% of the site value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulboy 2,518 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Excellent and does prove these feckers are at it.Here's hoping this is the missing piece of the jigsaw. After reading the last reply on the football tax havens website where someone states that he and a few others have documents on Westthorn things are looking like it's going to get interesting.Is this why FOI requests were getting denied due to only occsasional low contamination that didn't constitute 84% discount off the price.

West_Side 1,571 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I really think we need to distribute this and the other fantastic work done by footballtaxhavens to as many bears as we can. People need to hear this, and since the media isn't going to do anything, it's up to us to make sure that everyone hears about this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulboy 2,518 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 After doing a bit more digging I found out that each council has to keep a public register of contaminated land a few councils have theirs online but couldn't find glasgows . The register is for public viewing at gcc in George st so if anyone is passing drop in for a look at the report for westthorn Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Educator 1,572 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 A fair point in asking about jollies to Seville after this weeks report that members of he East Ayrshire Council were treated to a freebies by the company who have left major problems regarding open mine works. It seems the treated council employees to freebies to Seville and Manchester for the Roy Keane Testimonial. I note that no freebies to anything involving Rangers were involved, so it looks like we have yet another Scottish institution to add to the list of those who need closer scrutiny.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-26071696 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
