Tim Farron wants Millwall plans scrapped following latest revelations

It won't be long before the plug is pulled on this carve up and a few people nicked. I believe the ob are now sniffing around now.

Good. The council have been getting away with a lot of dodgy deals for decades.

Bless Tim Farron sticking his nose in everywhere!

Great stuff.

It would be interesting to hear from the nine councillors who voted against an independent inquiry as to why.

Fingers crossed.

And wel done to all those in the community that fought this crap.

Blinding news and two fingers to those dodgy fuckers at Lewisham and renewal. Also, this is a small victory for everyone that has seen family, friends and communities fucked over and ripped apart by theses money grabbing parasites. It brings hope and knowledge that you can fight these cunts and win, that they can't just bribe and bully to get what they want. I was heartbroken seeing what happened to my friends and family who got turfed out of there homes on the Heygate estate in particular, It has ruined peoples lives and broken life long friendships and a community, It made me feel that we are powerless to this shit. Today i have had some faith restored and have a little more hope for the future for the working classes and communities under threat.

Amazing news
Definite victory, though it sounds like the plans arent totally sunk.... ?

In a statement Bullock said: “I have always been clear that Millwall must be at the heart of the development and it is my view that these concerns need to be thoroughly addressed, the CPO should not proceed and that all parties concerned should enter discussions to identify an agreed way to achieve the regeneration of this area while resolving these concerns.”

. He would make a good politician. It is only recently that these people have engaged with Millwall. Renewal was set up by him and his cronies for one reason and one reason only. I think Bullock has scrapped this because otherwise it would have gone to an independent inquiry and the shit would have hit the fan.

Statement from the ams.

AMS statement
Today’s surprise announcement by Lewisham Mayor Steve Bullock that the Compulsory Purchase Order threat over The Den has been lifted will come as very welcome news.

Let us be under no illusion however. The politicians of Lewisham Council have not folded like a deck of cards this week because of any sense of the essential wrongness of their position.

No, they have forced into a humiliating climbdown because of the sheer weight of public pressure.

Pressure from the Millwall Family. Pressure from fans from the wider world. Pressure from ordinary members of the public who see a need to make a stand.

Let us be clear: Steve Bullock has been the driving force behind the discredited New Bermondsey scheme from the very start. He has embarrassed the proud role of Mayor of Lewisham and his position is consequently untenable.

Any new beginning. Any rebuilding of trust. Any restatement of the great value to the borough that our beloved club and its wonderful community scheme brings, is entirely dependent on his resignation.

Until then sadly, we continue our research into all aspects of this sorry affair. Not least the background of the favoured ‘Renewal’ developer and its web of foreign based ownership.

Today powerful local politicians were forced to eat humble pie, to back down and to put a temporary stop to their plans, by YOU.

What happens now, a fair and proper tender from all parties? What if millwall's proposal is fairly rejected?

Why not dispense with the blx and just say it: "I'm praying any alternative Millwall proposal is rejected and that something like the Bullock-Renewal carve-up is still forced on them"

Why can't people just answer a question here without getting all emotive? Is it just Millwall's scheme V Renewals?

This is a great decision for the Borough as it should get rid off some of the corruption. Don't forget Bullock's wife was linked to the A&E closure and how many flats are flying up around the place, in some instances at the expense of Victorian shop fronts.

What is your interpretation of a fair rejection ? Do you think it should be Lewiscam that makes that decision again.

 

[sealion]

Millwall don't want the Lions centre and other parcels of land taken away and built on because it kills off our revenue streams and downgrades our academy which produces local footballers and gives kids hope. Renewal and the crooks at Lewiscam have been buying pockets of land around the den for years now. How would you feel if this was happening to your club ?

 

[bromley]

Hopefully

Whatever the correct and legal way is. That's got to be no one involved in any party, which surely takes it out of Lewisham's hands and into the mayor's? Obviously previous only one party got heard. Are renewal now excluded?

I reckon the threat to leave the den was just to raise awareness of the issue and force a fair tender. Hopefully it will also result in prison sentences. Playing devil's advocate if the decision does go against millwalls, which I doubt if their proposal is based on community needs rather than most about of flats, then I can't see them moving out because of it.

 

[sealion]

Whatever the correct and legal way is.

This hasn't been the case so far, nor can i see it changing.

Are renewal now excluded?

Not sure but as i stated they have slyly bought pockets of land. Lewiscam could cpo renewal and take/buy that land back. They were only going to sell it to another developer anyway.

I reckon the threat to leave the den was just to raise awareness of the issue and force a fair tender.

Yes and no. Renewals plans will stop/damage revenue streams.

Playing devil's advocate if the decision does go against millwalls, which I doubt if their proposal is based on community needs rather than most about of flats,

As well as community needs Millwall were proposing a lot more affordable homes and units for social rent, Renewal weren't.

then I can't see them moving out because of it.

What is your basis for this hunch ?

 

[sealion]

prime land for a quid anyone ?

[bromley]

I see it changing because of what has happened. People could be sentenced for corruption. The decision must go to a higher level, probably mayorial level. Renewal could be in trouble to for their part so I wouldn't be surprised if their excluded. If it's just Millwall V renewal I think millwall will win it unless their proposal has some flaws, but they would just be rectified and they can't say no to any development after approving renewals.

As for the hunch, moving out due to not having revenue streams seems very extreme to say the least.

Corruption from elected councilors and there mates.

If you can't tell that that cartoon isn't anti-Millwall, then you must be even thicker than your reputation.
