Why no progress on Castle Hill plans?

Clr Smithson asked if this meant Clr Sims was happy for the matter to stay unresolved.

“Does it not mean he is content for no progress to be made?” he asked.

Clr Sims said he removed the deadline so that the council did not have to pay for the cost of maintaining the land, which is currently leased to the Thandis.

He added that discussions between the council and the Thandis were under way about the future of the site.

“They are really trying and spending a lot of money to come up with an application that’s favourable all round. We have a duty as a council to sit down and talk,” he said.
