Indeed, but your post suggested it wasn't 'a few grand that can't be traced from a bank account'Why wouldn't I, it was a legitimate job for a tax payer

Refurbing a local playground or road junction - planning gain - is contained in the application as a condition.
While it's tempting and easy to allege corruption, the process is reasonably open.
Councillors are limited by what they can regard as a 'planning consideration'.
The fact that a few posters on a cycling forum like to slag off the food to be provided will not be such a consideration.
Nor will competition in the market place be a reason to refuse an application.
After all, that's all the local traders are concerned about.
They dress it up with environmental cobblers about using artisanal coffee beans, but all they are really worried about is they will no longer be able to charge three quid for a drink that costs 20p.
I'm aware Rutland is a small place, but the number of public responses, for and against, is relatively low.
We had a bail hostel up here that got hundreds.
The low number suggests the application is not quite so controversial among the population as the protestors would like you to think it is.

Cheap food is always wanted.
Oakham is a nice town and has a nice centre.
There is a mukyd up the road in Melton Mowbray .
Out of town drive through shouldn't cause to much harm to local businesses but it will generate rubbish as they all do.
Nothing more sad than a takeaway hotspot at 5am ,litter everywhere.
Keeps people in jobs I spose
Quite possibly, but, they still eat there (McD), there are the same queues at the drive-thru as here, from what I have observed.It was the French who coined the word "McJob" to describe any rubbish job like, er, flipping burgers or delivering pizzas.

Yeh, the French would have come up with "McEmploi" - since they don't like to use English words (apart from "le weekend" and "car ferry"!).Not that it matters especially, but it wasn't 'the French' who came up with McJob, it was Amatai Etzioni.
Don’t know when you were last in France, or, indeed, mainland Europe, but, in my experience, English words are widely used, particularly in adverts and slogans.Yeh, the French would have come up with "McEmploi" - since they don't like to use English words (apart from "le weekend" and "car ferry"!).
Never mind about Maccy D's and Rutland, where nobody lives. I heard today that Cornwall has no Greggs.
I was going to go there for a few days in March, but if this is true will now have to reconsider my plans.

And changing theme all HG (Harrogate) post codes remain unique post code wise by not having a Tesco Superstore in them; one was proposed got axed in Tescos cutbacks.
