New Affordable Homes For Tameside


Over the next three years, one new affordable home will be built every week in Tameside as a result of an innovative partnership involving the council and New Charter Housing. Seven sites currently owned by the council are to be transferred to New Charter for them to build more than 270 much-needed new affordable homes and apartments as part of the Government's Affordable Homes Programme (AHP) which aims to increase the supply of new homes in England. Six of these sites-Burlington Street car park; land off Buttermere Road; Cotton Street East car park and the Katherine House site, all Ashton; Kynder Street car park, Denton, and land on Grosvenor Street, Stalybridge, will be invested by the council to deliver affordable homes and access new Homes Bonus. In addition, the old Hawthorn School site in Audenshaw is intended to raise £1 million in capital receipts. It comes barely a fortnight after a report revealed that the North West has the fastest growing social housing waiting lists in the country. Read the full article here.

Take the test and see how you score. My result was Traditional working class which scores low on all forms of capital, but is not completely deprived. Its members have reasonably high house values, explained by this group having the oldest average age at 66.

But I a mid 40's not 66.

Indeed - that's what it really means for Tameside. The overspill from Manchester is creeping. No houses, no bloody multiculturalism.

I scored Traditional Working Class too. Considering I ticked all the cultural activities and check 'artist' on the occupation bit I find that odd.

Personally I consider myself to be none of them, considering that most people today, even many of the better off are not more than Thralls according to the Pre-Christian Germanic definitions.

Where are the Freemen? Men with the right to say and do as they feel, to carry weapons and live a healthy life.

Where are the Nobility? The fair-haired, leadership inspiring Jarls who have loyal followers who are rewarded with gold and honours for serving their families.

Thralls, Thralls are a racially mixed unfree people, who really own nothing, they don't own their homes, they work for little pay, they wear short hair as a mark of servitude, are debarred the ownership and carry of weapons and can be killed for no penalty. Thralls are the only class I recognise today, bar one other.

Outlaws, people on the outside of society, hated by the wealthy and given nothing in the way of rights or recognition. People sent away for challenging the status quo.

Freemen may exist, in a sense the wealthy have armed bodyguards and militaries to protect them. But there are no true nobility of our race, no Nordic Warrior-priests of old, no ring-givers, no Demi-god heroes to save us.

Society must instead be rebuilt, there will be heroes amongst us, waiting for their time in the sun. The gods must long to see them and aid them also.

Given, Ivan Wright's keen interest in "Stalking" my youtube Channel.
Maybe he could watch this one, (follow link) and get some idea of what we have to endure day in and day out?

On another point, if you own a dog and go out, and leave it in the house barking all day, you are being cruel to that animal.
It also becomes a pain in the arse having to listen to it howling through the walls.

Few people on this earth loves dogs more than I, but that constant yapping would drive anyone to distraction. Surely there must be a law against it.

Nova Europa said...

With the curtain falling on old political survival strategies for European nation states and their native populations, many are now turning to the prospect of an entirely new continent where only a very small number of us can survive.

In his new book 'Nova Europa: European Survival Strategy in a Darkening World', veteran nationalist Arthur Kemp considers a future where white European man undergoes an acute evolutionary bottle neck....

"Drawing upon history and two practical examples (the Afrikaner town of Orania and the Zionist state of Israel), the author forms an coherent argument for the creation of, at first, local European communities, and then eventually, the creation of a European ethnostate arising from the chaos of a Third Worldized globe. It includes detailed steps and territorial proposals."

One thing's for sure, several decades hence our world we call Britain and Europe will look very different. An Africanised third world, an Islamic caliphate, Eurabia juxtaposed against New Europe? Anything's possible. But surely Britain would be the first to inaugurate itself as the former. Where and who will be what will be most interesting.

Go to youtube, search up videos on dogs barking or wolves howling, record the noise on to a CD to play on a stereo loud enough for your neighbours to hear when you're out of the house and see what happens.

Thanks TC Neighbours on the other side, have left their dog in the house since 10 this morning alone, it's been howling all day.

What a bloody racket, I don't know how you put up with it. Is that the guy you called a kraut?
Nice bike by the way but it's time to get rid of your stabilizers.

Going back to the original story, the New Charter house magazine "Tameside Reporter" confirms that the land will be given free to New Charter apart for one lot which will cost £1m. A pittance in land development terms. Am I the only person who sees something odd in a council giving land away to a company which has members of that council on it's board of directors?

We're thr fuzz and we've f**k all better to do said...

Careful, kraut iz on zee list of illegal vurdz zat haff been banned under Newspeak.
I believe Greater Manchester Gestap..sorry police are now going to class calling emos and goths names, as 'hate crime'.
If this is the way things are headed then the next time you think about calling a hippie a long haired git, Eric Pickles fatso or William Hague slaphead, just watch it.

Ordinary Joe said...

You must be a mind reader Tony as I was thinking the exact same thing. Am I correct in believing that they are giving 'our' land away to a private company? If this is so, surely it is illegal?

Free land for New charter housing to build social housing? This land belongs to the people of Tameside & should be sold to the highest bidder, To have councillors on the payroll of a company who is receiving this land for free is a scandal. This greedy council needs investigating for the way it conducts its business.
