Such a shame when, as per another recent thread, £800,000 being spent on doing up Staveley Hall. Of course, thats from a different pot of money, and God forbid any politicians give up their share to put towards someone else's share, but it would be much better for Staveley, if the canal area was completed and running, being used all the time, rather than being left as a half-done job, just like the Staveley / Brimington bypass that has never got finished.
And yet they want to spend some of that £800000 opening a cafe, when Staveley is already over-run with cafes and sandwich shops, including the much under-used one at Poolsbrook Park.

Oh well, common sense again being ignored.
