Could the council buy this place under the 'Executive Decision' making process and add it to there Church Street portfolio ?
Coincidentally the Staincliffe is apparently as good as closed with no drink or entertainment licence.
The vision my ar**.
Not so much a vision, more an illusion, with public money.
Church Street is no different now than it was 3years ago, all of the visionary / heritage bollox has cost several millions of pounds to provide what we already had, only with smaller trees.....Being honest about it, it has been an exercise in spending money for spendings sake I don't believe Church Street will ever be a viable entity no matter how much they spend on it.
A lot of disruption and for what? Cafe society in Church Street was stillborn years ago and it became Beer Boulevard. No surprise there then. They were so painfully lacking in imagination, they ripped out what the TDC put in and replaced it with more or less
the same thing but poorly executed.
I get the feeling they were trying to leave their egotistic mark for prosperity or was it more a case of they had no vision whatsoever so stuck to re-doing what had already been done.
wonder how much morton owes in rates this time >:(

Is it the Hartlepool version of Monopoly? 'Go to Jail' and 'FREE PARKING' are two popular options that obviously wouldn't feature on the Hartlepool version.
I noticed the sports domes (old mayfair ) is being advertised for lease/rent for £ 200 a week...full use of the facility .

Just who decides these debts won't be pursued and if not, the reasoning behind their decision.

Dissolved limited liability companies.
Look at the Staincliffe as an example, now in the name of what appears to be a young relative of "Monty".
I'm no expert on this, but who owns the property?

I think it's Morton who owns the actual building along with several others then he sets up other companies to lease the buildings and run them that way when they build up loads of debt to suppliers and to the council in business rates he can just declare that company bankrupt and then just walk away from the debt. He will still own the property and so is free to set up another company and do the same again. He has already done this several times in the past and no doubt will carrying on doing it in the future.
it should be pursued before it gets anywhere near what he walked away from last time
you try missing your council tax for a month or so >:(
the shower are fast enough to jump on the householder >:( >:( >:(
Not a good week for the SCABs 'favourite businessmen'. I gather that the NIRAMAX clan are going to feature pretty heavily in Mail front page headlines in a few months time.

Were the tax issues ever sorted out ?

I'm pretty sure tax issues is way down the list of things they'll be worrying about after recent events off Elwick Road.

I thought it was off Oxford Road?
Nope, Rydal Street is off Elwick Road.
Oh yeah, I was getting it mixed up with Rossall Street.
