STOP THE BLAME

 

Kirkby Residents Action Group is calling on Council Leaders and local Politicians to stop blaming local people for the collapse of their doomed Destination Kirkby project, and start listening to what local people want.

KRAG Secretary John Fleming commented; “We were shocked to read leaflets putout by the local Labour Party that tried to blame local people for the collapse of  Destination Kirkby pipe dream. It was mad very clear by the Planning Inspector and the secretary of state that these plans would have had a harmful effect on the town and would have ruined lives"

 "Kirkby Residents desperately want new shops and jobs but we never  wanted a massive football stadium, the demolition of local homes, the destruction of parkland and the devistaion of existing town centre businesses" 

 

Three million wasted

KRAG believes that rather than blaming local people Knowsley Council chiefs should be apologising for the waste of£3 million of Council Tax payers money on a project that was always doomed.
