Go Relaunch Go! - You're on a roll….. (or should that be roller?)

It strikes me that you and Know It All are fighting the same cause here, and are both not letting all the worms out of the can!

If this is just the tip of the iceberg, bring on the Titanic.

Relaunch - You say PW works alongside G E-C at the Tangerines. Is this still so? The reason I ask is, going back to last year, Blackpool Council was to decide on whether to lease land to Blackpool Football Club and help lay the foundations for the biggest and most expensive development in the resort’s history - the new multi-million pound Bloomfield Road Football Stadium.

In a report to councillors, Chief Executive G E-C advised that the land should be rented at an amount less than its market value. The report also acknowledged that the Council was foregoing a possible receipt in the region of £350K or rental equivalent £50K per year. GE-C said that normally the Council was legally required to sell or rent its land on a commercial basis, but in this case special considerations applied.

Surely, G E-C had a conflict of interest if serving on both boards.
