EREWASH'S ENGINE ROOM



THE OLD STANTON OFFICES



The old Stanton Ironworks site could be the Engine Room of Erewash. Already it has some significant businesses present. I am very disappointed that Erewash Borough Council didn't make more effort in the boom years to bring jobs to the site. Although it could be that the Tories really do want to turn Erewash into a dormitory for Nottingham and Derby.



I would like to see Erewash more self sufficient in jobs. I would rather bring the jobs to the people than send the people to the jobs. The Stanton site could again be a core job provider in Erewash. It is so sad to see the vast area of undeveloped and underdeveloped land that was once Stanton Ironworks.

The Stanton redevelopment plan needs a thorough rethink. With a greater sense of urgency being put into attracting industry to the site. So far the Council has done little to make real progress. They seem more obsessed with their own internal affairs than what's happening outside the Town Hall.
