Back to work
Good News - Victory in sight
South Tyneside Council's Cabinet yesterday decided not to build a new super school on Temple Memorial Park, they have decided to opt for building at the current Chuter Ede site. This has come as a bit of a surprise, not least because they have had a poor record of listening to the public in the past. Now we only wait for ratification by the full Council at it's next meeting.
I believe this is a sensible decision, although it may not have been welcomed in some quarters, and I congratulate and thank all of those who were willing to put their heads above the parapet to voice their opposition. Well done everybody!
See today's story in The Shields Gazette
Leader of the Council, Paul Waggot's comments.
Another piece of good news as far as Temple Memorial Park is concerned came in an e-mail today from the Property Department of Northumbria Police. It had been rumoured that they wished to relocate a facility from Jarrow to Temple Park, this can now be dispelled as a total myth. They had at one time considered the proposition to build adjacent to the new fire station, but rejected the idea because of financial considerations.
At least we now know for sure that another building on the park is not on the cards!

I cannot sign off without posting my thoughts on the embarrasing episode being played out at Sid James Park between "Bellenemy", "Sewerness", and "fat Freddy". It's quite revealing how some overpaid brat footballers think that they can hold the whole of their team to ransom by childishly refusing to play a part unless it is on their terms. Can you imagine telling your boss at work that you aint gonna do it his way? Your contract would be terminated rather swiftly!
The poisoned dwarf has been fined two weeks wages (about £80,000) but not placed on the transfer list, however, today, the chairman announced that the club would be prepared to listen to offers. The transfer window closes next Monday so clubs will need to move quick to snap up this firebrand. It will take a manager with a more disciplinarian attitude than "Sewerness" to handle this one, and there aren't many of them about!
Someone will be willing to take the risk if the price is cheap enough, Blackburn perhaps?
