At the last meeting of the executive Committee we all voted to establish a separate website for MANTRA. As co-editors of The Manthorpe News we will of course continue our support of MANTRA. After all we created it.
Two members of Lodge Way phoned Counciller Wootten friday evening to say that
the developers who had purchased 85 Manthorpe Rd were going demolish the premises. There is no Council cover over weekends. By dint of much effort Councillor Wootten got the Council Planning and enforcement officers of SKDC to stop this matter in its tracks. This exposes a gap in the Councils coverage of this type
of event and needs addressing.

Mr Fisher has decided to appeal against his first application in respect of his request
to build a four bedroomed house in the garden of 173 Manthorpe Rd.
As we understand it his grounds for appeal are twofold 1. The Planning Officers original decision was lawful and should be upheld. 2. A planning precedent had been
set by the erection of a similar property on the corner of Sandcliffe and Manthorpe Roads.
A planning Inspector will be appointed from Bristol and a final decision will be made
in July or August 2008
