Spending this amount of money in the current climate is madness to me. That said, if it is as you say and you were landed with this with no legal getouts at least its on the face of it better than it was. It does smack of playing politics though by committing to this major expense so soon before an election. I’ve supported labour usually in the past but there actions on this appear wreckless to me and although I can’t bring myself to support the Tories I think they’ve lost my vote in future. On a personal note though Matthew thanks for the work you are doing locally and thanks for helping a group I’m involved with a couple of weeks ago.

Mr Ellis.
Interesting post and one would question the sense of an administration who probably knew they were finished actually going ahead with this deal. In my view, however, and something you haven’t mentioned, this is a good development for Stafford, our County Town which should bring new jobs via the retail and commercial units which come with it. It seems to me the principle was right but the execution badly flawed. I’m a Conservative minded, but floating voter, and the approach you’ve taken on this of making a poor deal better through decent business sense may just turn me into a Conservative voter. Your national colleagues may well wish to learn lessons from this. Good luck.
