Red carpet treatment for businesses who want to invest in Stoke-on-Trent, but only if the shoe fits.
I say this following the negative comments from the Assistant Director of City Regeneration to City Renewal Overview and Scrutiny Committee 28th June that

500 words from Michael Coleman BNP candidate for Springfields & Trent Vale
I would like to make known my views on two vital issues affecting Stoke-on-Trent.
1 – It’s transparently clear to me that the hate-filled powers that be (the political establishment of London) are imposing a terrible programme of social change upon us.
