I hope you didn't in the last election but votes and $$$$$ are what all these pr1cks think about (or maybe skirt, little boys or whatever takes their fancy)I have written to Pickles and asked why no decision has been made a couple of months ago and had no reply, I suggest everyone writes to the fat ****** and inform him that you will not be voting Conservative in the next election and CC Cameron.
The useless fat ***** , ***** **** might get off his fat arse and make a decision.
I'd also point out that if you're in the Tottenham Constituency that you should raise it with David Lammy, asking him to raise the issue at DCLG questions. I'd ask him but I don't live in the borough so he doesn't have to listen to me.I have written to Pickles and asked why no decision has been made a couple of months ago and had no reply, I suggest everyone writes to the fat ****** and inform him that you will not be voting Conservative in the next election and CC Cameron.

Mr Josif Josif is already threatening to appeal if Pickles rules in favour of THFC, which will take even longer. Levy and Lewis know, £millions can make a problem like this go away.
Wait, what? Just saw that article, but I could have sworn there was something in the stadium thread saying that this guy was a gooner...Only spurs would have one of their own fans being the final barrier to building a new stadium and not budging.
You just gotta laugh...or you'll die crying.

There's a great deal of nonsense in the replies to this thread and it started with this.
First of all, it's not 'compensation', it's a valuation. If the CPO is approved, the money to be paid to the party whose land is being compulsorily purchased is an assessment of its market value. Nothing else - in theory, it's not a matter for negotiation, it's just a calculation of the market value. Of course, different valuers will come up with different figures and it won't surprise anyone that Haringey's valuation is lower than Archway's.
In practice, waving wads of cash does often makes appeals go away. But there's no reason to do that if the matter is still with the DCLG, because Pickles is not empowered to make a judgment on the valuation. The appeal has to be based on whether the CPO is merited in principle. This will be related to whether the property in question is in the way of a development which is in the overriding public interest. And that's got to b the main reason why THFC (and LB Haringey, I expect) are expressing surprise that this is not a formality.
If Pickles decides that the appeal is nonsense, then Archway have to take the money in the CPO valuiation and bugger off. If he decides that the appeal is merited, then THFC could (probably will) opt to throw large chunks of cash at Josif until he accepts the money and goes away.
The likely reason why nothing has been done is that the DCLG is inefficient and slipshod and has more pressing matters to deal with. The person who could probably get something done about this is probably not David Lammy, because he's in the wrong party, although his voice wouldn't do any harm. The Mayor could get things moving if he were so inclined.
