Did anyone get Fridays YEP. Slap bang on the front page, WE WONT BUDGE relates to story about an estate in South Elmsall, and its about Wakefield Council using TOUGH powers to help tear down houses on an estate.
The Councils Cabinet are meeting this week and look set to agree to a Compulsory Purchase Order for the remaining houses, but residents dont feel they have been offered a fair deal, Wake Council offered them £40,000 last year for well kept 3 bedroom homes.
Sounds very much like the Girnhell situation in Featherstone.

I had a ride round the estate today, very sad to see it reduced to rubble, not many residents left and dwindling rapidly. I hope the labour wmdc are happy, maybe Janet Howley will get a bonus when the estates flattened and she and her team have finally wrecked the community |

The demolition team have took their diggers away again today as there is nothing left for them to do, well apart from one burnt out shell which they have left for some strange reason! Why on earth didn't they do that before going? It's the last one (for now anyway). They have left a few of their skips again filled with all sorts of materials! I'm not quite sure what's in them but I bet there is something combustible in there! Oh, and they have left us a bit of muck in the middle of the road. As well as that, the mud that they have been churning up on one of the sites is slowly creeping towards the pavement again too making the place look unpleasant! I totally agree with you Whistleblower, but it doesn't matter what you say, they don't give a monkey's about anyone other than themselves! Look at how many other people have suffered or are suffering the same scenario as us! They make me sick!

Diane and Richard Donaldson from South Elmsall need to be contacted. I have tried directory enquiries but there is only 2 Donaldson’s registered and neither was the person on the estate. I could do with some help here, so if you can find them PM me. I have an idea to help both sides that you may read about shortly.  |

I found them on 192.com listed as both living at same address, but their details are hidden, it costs £9.95 to reveal them  I'll keep looking though. |

Thanks . A joint effort got a result. I wish this could be put to use more. I have quickly talked with Richard today and will be talking more in depth on Sunday. |

I had the pleasure of talking to Richard yesterday. Sounds like a determined soul (sorry WMDC you cannot have him yet) who has seen pretty much what the Girnhill residents have.
It sounds like the complaints have increased the Girnhill prices as South Elmsall is being offered £40k for the house, £15k relocation money and a £35k loan.
Interestingly the contractors work the same way as ours with cables cut dirty roads and yes FIRES. Richard has also had the usual phone calls and offers to get him out. He is also in contact with another suffering estate group in Leeds. The back history alone on this forum should give some ideas to these 2 groups when they read them plus any help people here can pass on.
Some one at WMDC I am sure will be not so happy new friends have been made.

Dear Janet
RE THE GIRNHILL ESTATE
Dear Janet
I have to contact you over one matter that is particularly still out standing and of a public safety issue. You will be aware of recorded reports of a metal container on the Girnhill estate since December that has had its lock broken off. The container was and is being used for the storage of asbestos by the demolition contractor.
Since the lock was removed the container has become a play den for local kids. This is bad enough. Shouldn’t the contractor have taken the container with them?
My major concern is that the serial arsonist will take a fancy to this item. If the asbestos store does go up in smoke then it will be a major incident that even the fire brigade would have to use procedure against. As for the rest of Featherstone it is very likely and has been for 7 weeks that at any time everyone could be covered in fine fall out particles of asbestos. The fire service and police should be contacted and warned.
As for the container, I think it has been ignored long enough.
Regards
|

They're willing to spend £9m on a nature park, but can't even give the residents a fair deal, it beggars belief, they're no better than dictators, they make me sick  |
