The leaflet can now be viewed by CLICKING HERE

You will then have to rotate it by clicking on the rotate button that looks like this

You can also access the leaflet from the Home Page on the main site and from the pubguide's Jolly Sailor page.

Please note that the deadline for objections to the new planning application has been extended to 17th September, so show the leaflet to as many folks as you can and ask them to make the effort to object if they'd like to save the Jolly.

Hope this will help the campaign a little.

FYI Ive sent the leaflet to Mark today.  Apologies for delay.. Ive been on holiday

[admin]

Probably the best option is to produce your leaflet in something like Word and then convert it to adobe acrobat format for viewing on-line. This way it looks exactly the way you want it to.

If you do the leaflet and send it by e-mail, we can do the rest for you here and provide some visible links from the home page to drawn attention to it. Send to: mark(at)marple-uk(dot)com
We could then ask visitors to download, print and distribute a few in their own areas. Every little should help!

Marple Area Planning Committee Decision date - provisionally 18th Sept - may be put back till 16th of Oct.  To find out when and where exactly this meeting will be held you can ring Mark Robinson @ Marple area planning office on 474 3657.  It is vital that people who care turn up to this meeting to back our objections up.  If there is no-one there to support us they may wel just pass it .... remeber the Bowling Green, Treetops - (knocked down this week)!!

Public meeting - to discuss what to do next - Tuesday 3rd sept (provisional) 7:30pm, Marple Methodist Church Hall, Church lane.

Hopefully the full text of the leaflet will be available online soon - can anyone help with this?

I was told it was 7oclock

[admin]

Scott, can you tell us what the new plans are for? Oh, and what time is the meeting?

Duplicate applications even with appeals/Public Inquiries outstanding is a common developer tactic.  Its basically trying to bully the council into accepting the next application therefore not incurring the large cost of the appeal.  It works a lot of the time as well

[Scott]

As previously mentioned we are  holding a community meeting for people who are interested in the plight of bulings such as the Jolly Sailor and Almonds hotel and we will also be discussing more general community issues and idea.

I can confirm that the meeting will take place on Thursday 22nd August at Marple Methodist church, Church lane

Please bring your ideas and aspirations for our community - see you there!

[Scott]

Im glad someone noticed the new planning application.  A friend of mine will be cheaking the plans today as they should be in the library.

We are organising a meeting for next week to get together with people interested in disussing ideas for the Jolly sailor (and Almonds hotal too probably! ) and local issues.  
We will be inviting all the people who came to our last (and first! ) meeting and other community interested people we've spoken over the last couple of months.

An open invitation will be posted in the forum once we have confirmed the exact date - either wed/thus next week.  We would of given you all more notice but since there is a new planning application we feel we should meet and discuss the the issues ASAP.

That seems a bit quick off the mark Mark.  '>

Before we write to object to this new proposal, just what is it proposing? The original proposal was for 41 flats, and that was rejected, pending an appeal, mainly due to traffic considerations. Quite rightly so in my opinion. If the new proposal was for far fewer retirement flats then it will not generate the traffic entering and leaving the site and therefore may not fail for that reason (although I'm sure they can think of another, like loss of public parking).

I for one will not object to retirement flats just because they are retirement flats. I know we already have quite a few, but the population, in general, not just in Marple, is getting older. My father, in his eighties, now lives in a retirement flat and he is far better there than in a big victorian house that he couldn't care for. That house is now home for a family. So think of retirement flats as freeing up housing for younger people, and maybe home for us one day.

As an aside, I heard recently that people had been looking round the Jolly because they have been asked to quote for cleaning it up. Make of that what you will.

I've just heard that:

There is a NEW planning letter outside the jolly sailor regarding proposed development of retirement flats
REF 008567
Write to object to:
Director of Environmental & Economic development services
Hygarth House
103 Wellington Road South
Stockport
NEED TO BE IN BY THE 28 th AUGUST

Why this is when there is an appeal to be heard into the previous refusal on 5 November I don't understand.

I heard in the Stockport Times (pg 10) that £350k is going to be spent on Marple tourism (thanks to British Waterways). Stunell said he hopes a tourism office can also be built.
What do we do with the Jolly? Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

[Scott]

Yes thats right...Three copies.  Sorry, another important detail omitted there!

What do people think about the clean up idea?  Its not going to be till november that this gets decided and its in their advantage for it to look bad for when the planning inspector takes his site visit
