Some of the shots I have seen on the local news and recent photos in local newspapers show a very empty park. And how much have those Deamland TV ads costs? I have seen nothing in the press to say that the Dreamland CPO compensation has been settled and how much. The current owner wanted to build 400 dwellings on part of the site which could have bought them in £20 millions. If the current heritage use have not delivered the goods in terms of footfall then the basis of the claims made in court at the CPO hearings wont stand up and maybe the e owners have a case to get possession back, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
