FOUR acres is quite a nice piece of land. This particular site is in the middle of town and it is a prime development site; but how much is it worth? No-one has ever mentioned the value of this piece of real estate; so let Monmouthshire Council give us a clue. How much do we expect? A ballpark figure will do!
I also think the mayor of Caldicot is under a misapprehension, as we all were. In the press she states: “As MCC states, the money generated will help regenerate the school, which it so desperately needs.” However, MCC’s actual quote is: “with the cash going into the rebuilding fund for its schools.”
That is the county schools fund.
This is a disgusting turnaround from MCC. When we were hoping to have a total rebuild fund from WAG all the sale cash was to be a deposit for that project. But not anymore. We may get crumbs from the table.
Sadly we have no voting powers over the councillor responsible as he is seated in a comfortable Devauden; which is a Tory seat.
