Cheshire East planners and councillors should hang their heads in shame

So now we know it.

As I predicted, several months ago, Debenhams have pulled out of this dreadful, ill-thought out scheme.

And, as I also predicted, the signs indicate that the hugely discredited Macclesfield Redevelopment scheme has finally hit the skids.

Saying “I told you so” gives me no satisfaction whatsoever – I’d be happy with the resignation of the Cheshire East planning committee councillors (just one from Macclesfield), town planners – and everyone else who approved or supported – and helped foist this deplorable scheme on our town.

Planning approval placed a blight on Mill Street that I understand could remain until that consent runs out – in several more years.

Those who so vehemently supported the scheme have done untold damage to our town – they should hang their heads in shame.

Remember their names when you go to the polls this May – I’ll help jog your memory if necessary.
