I thought something must have been afoot when they kept mowing and cutting the undergrowth on that side in the past couple of months.

There's never been a better time to get planning appications through, new builds everywhere. If they build another castle our stadium will be overshadowed, although there was originally going to be a Travelodge/Premier Inn there

Unless the house is for a football fan then I can't imagine why anyone would want to build another castle.

As you say , planning applications should be straight forward at present.

There's more castles in that postcode than there are in Wales

I thought that that piece of land had been bought by a former Director so maybe he has either sold it on, has given it back to the club or has decided to develop it himself.

Yes, Graham & Nigel own a company that bought it to bail the Club out at the time

The Planning Application is made by someone based in Garstang

Application No PP-09117772 but this appears to be either blocked or the system is down at the moment.

Information is there if you want to look. It's the agent who's in Garstang. I believe the applicant is an existing Morecambe resident.

I've lived in Skerton for 25 years. There are traveller families that have lived or stayed here a lot longer than that including my immediate neighbours. The travellers I met when my kids were at school with theirs didn't like being called pikey. They may have used the word among themselves, I don't know, but when a non traveller called them that it was never in a nice way. When you used the term in the earlier post it came across as a ''there goes the neighbourhood" comment. That was what I objected to. Objected to, not 'was offended' by.

I've cleaned the rest of this thread, but left this comment as it adequately explains the position. Tyson Fury said the term is offensive, so I'll go with him.
