"Tony Newman, the Labour leader of the council, was missing from the Town Hall for last night's extraordinary meeting on the state of the borough’s children’s services. Apparently, he had more important matters to attend to.
According to Stuart Collins, who chaired last night's Town Hall meeting, Newman and the leader of the Conservative opposition on the council, Tim Pollard, were away in London to meet with ministers to discuss the situation over Westfield’s badly stalled £1.4billion redevelopment of the town centre.
"... Westfield, in a forced partnership with shopping centre managers Hammerson, were supposed to be opening their redeveloped supermall on the site of the Whitgift Centre and Centrale this year. No building work has been undertaken, despite a Compulsory Purchase Order on the large area and planning permission being granted by the council two years ago."
