Conservatives cost you. Sudbury Town Council land saga. part 2

This issue is like a yo yo. The Conservative dominated Town council said new offices for the Town Council were the priority with the Mayors Parlour re-established and the front doors to be open, for what when the offices are to the rear, one can only guess?
Now realising they cant use any of the Tesco Section 106 money for this as, not surprisingly, it has to be used for town regeneration. Some are thinking of going to the second priority which was new toilets eventhough they have just closed down the Burkitts Lane toilets which could have been refurbished. Why because they can use the S106 money. The Conservatives are now totally divided some want the offices, others toilets meanwhile Sudbury taxpayers have bought a piece of land just before the credit crunch which has dropped in value, has been used as staff car parking for a year and has no coherent plan for it.
Tuesday 11th council will have to give some direction. Whether the Tory majority is capable is doubtful.
The Lib Dems would want affordable housing, its what the site has permission for! Its what the Tories thought should be the 3rd choice. And we didn't need to buy the land for this to happen.
