Re: Altham/Simonstone Racecourse
I have a drink two or three times a week in the Read Club with a Simonstone Councillor and he tells me that all has gone quite and it looks like the plan is scrapped.
I also have a mate who owns the Dunkirk Farm and he hasn't even had a letter asking him if he will sell part of his land and The Bridge Heywood Caravan Park which would be needed according to the outline plans we have seen.

I will ask again tomorrow night when I meet them again.

Think the ones who fly on Broomsticks have moved up to Ossy and become council paid 'art consultants ' and on-line shoppers
