I am in full agreement with
local residents whom are opposing the recent application by
Aldi to build a new store on the Drakehouse Lane. I have written to
their Cheif Executive to express my views and will continue to
actively engage myself within this matter. Below is an copy of my
letter:
Dear
Mr Foley
I am
writing to you with regard to the planning application for the
proposed store on Drakehouse Lane, Sheffield near to the Crystal
Peaks shopping centre both of which are in my

You may not know much about Michael Ashcroft. He made his initial fortune in the 1970s from cleaning companies, when the then Conservative government forced compulsory competitive tendering on cleaning services in the National Health Service, other government departments and local councils. Wages and conditions of service – like holidays and sick-pay – for already low-paid staff were slashed further. The income he received from that provided the basis for his international businesses operations, which he based in Belize, a well-known tax haven. His fortune is now estimated at £1,100m. In his 2005 autobiography,...

Last week, the government confirmed that changes to the planning rules in April will give councils more powers to manage the development of Houses in Multiple Occupation and high concentrations of shared rented homes which, when poorly managed, can change the balance and nature of local communities.

Written Question Re: Gurkhas: Ex-Servicemen

7th July 2009 - Written
Question Re: Gurkhas Ex-servicemen Mr. Betts: To
ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will estimate how many
Gurkhas who retired from the armed forces before 1997 have since
died; and if he will make a statement. Mr. Kevan Jones: Insufficient
information is held to enable a reliable estimate to be made of the
number of Gurkhas who retired from the armed forces before 1997 and
who have now passed away. Many generations of Gurkhas have served
with great distinction in the UK armed forces, since they were
first permitted to volunteer for British military service in the
1815 peace treaty that ended the Anglo-Nepalese war of 1814-15.
Between 1948, when the Brigade of Gurkhas was formed as part of the
British Army and 1 July 1997, when the Brigade became UK based, it
is estimated that some 37,100 Gurkhas served in and were discharged
from the Brigade. We also estimate that from those years there
remain...
