The conserted efforts of Stapleford Liberal Democrats have ensured that inappropriate plans for a replacement building for the Warren Arms on Derby Road were thrown out by the council's Development Control Committee last night.
Cllr Brian Wombwell (Stapleford North) arranged for the plans, which officers wanted to approve, to be considered by the committee. Cllr John Longdon (Stapleford North) and Cllr Stan Heptinstall (Stapleford and Bramcote County Councillor) were amongst those who spoke and voted against the scheme. All pointed out that the proposed building was unsuited to the location and would not enhance the street scene on Derby Road.
The Warren Arms is in fact in Stapleford South West ward, represented by two Labour councillors. What did they do to stop this scheme - absolutely nothing. They raised no objections to the scheme. They didn't ask for the committee to debate the scheme, and at last nights meeting neither of them even bothered to turn up.
