Trafford Conservatives issue a secret message to the Traders of Sale Moor.
My earlier comments remain: there are no plans for developing Warrener Street Car Park.
So, Cllr Colledge, what were you intending to do with the car park, before you decided to preserve it ?
You can’t have it both ways !
Either you were intending to develop the car park and you decided against it in view of the overwhelming public outcry.
Or you never had any plans, as you claimed in your e-mail, in which case there would have been no need to announce your decision that you had decided to preserve it.

THS announces the ‘Sale Moor Covenant’
The Sale Moor Covenant
1 There will be a moratorium in force on any development of the car park at Warrener Street for a minimum period of thirty years.
2 There will be no charge made for the use of the car park, irrespective of any recommendations by central government, or other external bodies.
3 There will be no sale of any land owned by the people of Trafford, which lies within Sale Moor. 1.(Land owned by the people is often referred to wrongly as ‘owned’ by the Council; the Council in fact owns nothing: it is the People2. who own the land).
4 There will be no demolition permitted of any building in Sale Moor ward without full consultation with the People of Sale Moor, except for reasons of safety.
5 There will be no planning permission given for the erection of any building in Sale Moor ward without full consultation with the People of Sale Moor.
6 There will be no permission for the establishment of any new business in Sale Moor village without full consultation with the People of Sale Moor, and a full consultation with the Traders to elicit an analysis of the likely effect on the retail ecology of the village.
7 The retail area of any new business will be restricted so as to maintain fair competition in the village.
8 There will be a financial programme of start-up incentives targeting new businesses in the village in order to broaden the retail provision. Concurrently, there will be a review of the trading conditions of existing businesses consistent with the maintenance of fair competition in the village. This programme will run for five years initially, with the prospect of renewal.
9 There will be a complete review of on-street parking in Sale Moor village, with a view to extending the period of time permitted, and the removal of parking restrictions in some places.
10 Financial support for the initiatives and improved conditions mentioned above will be found from Council Tax revenue, and not from any localised charges in the village.
