ETU 's Plans to Take Over Pegasus Club.

[Deleted]

Just thought some may be interested in this statement on ETU site today regarding their hopes to take over the Pegasus club.Think there's a long way to go yet!
The matter was recently put open for public consultation by the council.

Hopefully, our new ground in Grays will be less controversial!!!

Just read something about turning "Lakeside Basin" into a regional town centre? Does that mean another nail in the town centre part of Grays or is Grays within this mythical "Lakeside Basin"?

[Deleted]

No, don't think they plan on stretching it as far as Grays! Mind you, who knows, John Kent might change his mind, just like he changes his football team!!!!
Lakeside always was and always will be a problem for Grays Town Centre.I think it will only ever prosper if it reinvents itself.Into what, I really don't know.But it needs to be something specialist that Lakeside and other local towns aren't!!

Well if they want to build residential and other facilities at Lakeside to make it a town then maybe they could flatten Grays and turn it into a giant park & ride centre for this new Regional town which I think we will call Lakeside-on-Thames. That will make it sound posh and appealing just like those places in SW London/Surrey area. How easy was that, give me a job on the council!

You do realise such a plan would mean demolishing Subway in Grays High Street ?!

As to working in the council - be careful what you wish for !

There appears to be a great dependency on the Thurrock Campus of South Essex College currently being built opposite the council offices in New Road. Full details here. Of course, it's not due to open until September 2014, and we all know a week's a long time in politics.....

At least the 2,000 students will have somewhere to get their nails done.

How does a college turn atown's fortunes round?I really don't see that but it seems to be the only plan! There will only be a small amount of businesses benefit from students in the town!

I can use the subway in Lakeside-upon-Thames! Turn all the shops into curry houses, trendy bars and Lakeside-upon-Thames can have it's own Brick Lane just to the east of town like London does.

Anyone selling cigarette papers, cheap cider and pot noodles will be thriving.
