That’ll take time but surely in the meantime it could and should be used for Ukrainians. It seems ridiculous not to! They’re quite modern buildings, purpose built in the last 20 or so years (on Beaconside Frank, by RAF Stafford).
Jo, the former Stafford Technology College as was, on the Weston Rd roundabout. Yes, a good use for such places. Same with the hospital, Shell.
That’s it Frank, this is the link to the plans
Obviously having been university halls it’ll already be set up with self contained rooms and I’d expect shared kitchens.
And Shell’s reminded me that the hospital, just down the road from there, isn’t fully used so there are a number of empty wards.
