Proposed Housing Development Site 44 Longridge, Stainton Way Thank you to everyone who went to the Middlesbrough Council Executive Decision Making Meeting on 20th November 2006. We were well represented, much to the surprise of some Councillors. It was reported (plus large photo) in the Gazette on November 21st. The outcome was that Yuill will be the preferred developer, but their £8.5 million bid requires ‘further clarification and information’. So the Site is not yet sold! We have gained another supporter! Craig Hornby, who has made his name internationally as the producer & director of the film “A Century in Stone” - the first ever local film shown in a Teesside multiplex (2004) – and he wants to help us. Craig suggests we can stir up publicity with ‘Local environment group team up with a local filmmaker to broadcast a campaign film worldwide via the web’. He plans to make a video and put it online through Youtube and Google video early next week. Craig’s website is www.pancrack.tv Craig, plus camera, will be at Site 44 on Sunday December 3rd at about 11.15 am. We need as many people as possible to join him and to take part in the film. Please can you help? Bring family, friends, children, dogs along as well! Also, Councillor Terry Ward has successfully ‘called in’ the decision. It will be considered by the Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Board at an open Meeting being held in the Town Hall on Thursday, December 7th at 9am. Might it be possible for some of you to support us again and go to that meeting with us?
