West Bromwich Development Controversy

What’s going on in Sandwell? do we have infighting amongst the Labour party ?

An article in a major national news paper concerning West Bromwich’s 10 year old Labour development plans, seems to have started a internal Labour row. these plans in which most
of the towns facilities disappeared, including the:

King Cinema
Gala Baths
Major big name retailers

But has given residents closed up shops with card board pictures on the front and a Green floor at the £70 Million Public arts Building.

It now appears that the “New Police Station” opened in approximately 1975 to replace the old police station in the high street and as some of you may remember was built on the Flask public house ( I had a miss spent youth ) is to be replaced by a new Police Station 600yards down the road, by Tesco      

Apparently Labour MP for Huddersfield Barry Sheerman was quoted as saying in the newspaper:
‘I cannot see the difference between this and a bribe”.

But Sandwell’s Regeneration chief, has jumped to the attack on the councils web site.

Regeneration chief’s “disappointment” at report
Cllr Jones has written to the Mail on Sunday to voice his disappointment at the paper's report.

We have to ask, “why as he written to the newspaper? Why not ring up his own Labour party member?”
