Middlesbrough People Paging Ray Mallon
Middlesbrough people paging Ray Mallon begin to wonder is the engine of Middlesbrough Town Hall being run on the new eco friendly super fuel of sleaze aka political corruption and hypocrisy as the Regeneration chief tells of Gresham cash hopes The timescale to buy 1,500 homes in Middlesbrough's Gresham and embark on redevelopment could be cut if additional cash is levered in. Mayor Ray Mallon has said he is not prepared to see the demolition project "bumble along".
Latest estimates are that at current funding levels it could be 2025 before all homes are bought and demolished and development secured. But Tim White, Middlesbrough Council's regeneration director, is HOPEFUL. readers can view the new Mallon Budd White-Wash regeneration Team sing-a-long with Ray song by Order of Middlesbrough Executive this song will be sung at ALL future MBC back slapping Regeneration Meetings.
Moves are now being considered by MBC to lever in extra cash and all are hopeful these new plans will be successful. It is believed the MBC Regeneration Guru Team may now approach a proven money raising expert in the hope he can assist MBC to raise funds. Others believe the system of raising cash used by MBC to date may never work. Complaints to MBC are expected as to just how many weekly lottery tickets MBC Regeneration Team Guru's have purchased to date.
Tim White-Wash said in dealing with some large projects councils knew exactly how much money was available and where it was coming from. We have £500,000 in the capital programme to improve the Middlesbrough Theatre and we have designed a project around that.
With mima the council at the start made a promise to build it. It put some money in and then went to other agencies to ask for more. Eventually we got £14m and we designed a gallery. The Older Housing Strategy was different. It was unprecedented We had a massive problem and it was well outside the resources the council had to deal with it. The plan to demolish Gresham was never a 5 year plan added Mr White-Wash. Bollocks a good liar needs a good memory MBC New Vision news leaflets press statements and public meetings oft repeated the grand MBC 5 YEAR plan to flatten Gresham.
The Tees Valley councils had to persuade Government they needed extra money to tackle housing market failure. Gresham NEVER suffered so called Housing Market Failure. All Gresham and Middlesbrough suffer is Mbro Executive Failure. Residents believe a contagious disease sweeps through Middlesbrough Executive and it's that which requires urgent treatment.
That work bore fruit. Initially we got substantial hints we would get extra money. We did not know how much we would get but we had to put forward a comprehensive, credible and bold plan. Mr White said Middlesbrough got £15m for the period from 2008 to 2011. But it was less than we hoped for. He said work had been going on for some time to find a new way to bring extra cash in. This sort of project is not an exact science. We thought 1,500 houses was the right number to make a difference. No YOU thought 1500 homes would bring a crock of gold and it did Fools Gold for a parcel of Fools.
It is not just about demolishing houses. It is about creating a new housing area which is fit for 21st century living. You cannot do that in small areas. He said the ABV (Asset Backed Vehicle) to generate extra cash for Gresham was not a done deal. But if we did not have a realistic prospect of securing this we would not have brought it forward. The system would involve the council committing a big slice of cash from the sale of the Hemlington Grange site. The Government's Homes and Communities Agency would also be major contributors. "I have a high degree of confidence we can make this work," said Mr White.
