Monday, August 27th, 2012

The Range is set to open on October 12 in the old B&Q store on the Tame Valley Industrial Estate

The opening of new home, garden and leisure superstore The Range in Tamworth is set to create 70 new jobs and Conservative controlled Tamworth Borough Council is playing a leading role in helping to fill the vacancies.

Tamworth Borough Council has agreed to allow The Range and Jobcentre Plus to hold the interviews and inductions at its Marmion House offices.

Interviews for a mix of full and part-time positions will be held on September 4 and 5, with inductions being held on October 4, 5 and 8.

The Range is set to open on October 12 in the old B&Q store on the Tame Valley Industrial Estate.

Cllr Steve Claymore, Cabinet member for Economic Development and Enterprise, said, “The opening of The Range is another boost to Tamworth’s economy, providing a valuable addition to what the borough has to offer, as well as creating 70 new jobs for local people.

“We are delighted to be able to actively support The Range, in conjunction with Jobcentre Plus, by allowing the company to hold its interviews and induction days at Marmion House.”

Wind Mast Petition

Friday, August 24th, 2012

Two Conservative Party Borough Councillors, Stephen Doyle and Andrew James, have been out knocking doors over the last week in Tamworth with a petition against the proposed 50-metre wind mast at Tamworth Motorway Service Area.

Cllr Doyle said, “Although, the company who want to put the mast up say it is only temporary, 18 months is a long time and the harm that the removal of 1,000 sq metres of trees will do to the environment is another key factor in our reasons for objecting to this proposal.”

Cllr James added, “This wind mast will almost certainly lead to an application for a wind turbine in the same area and as it has still not been proved that inland wind turbines significantly increase the amount of energy for the cost of these masts, both on the environment and landscape, we are opposed to the structure.”

The petition was handed into the Planning Department of Tamworth Borough Council on Thursday 23 August and the wind mast will be discussed by the Borough Council’s Planning Committee at a future meeting.
