Top 10 must-reads this week including High Court battles, £20m villages and more…
TOP of the list this week was a squabble at investment company TBO, the liquidated vehicle of former Ukip MEP Godfrey Bloom, a truly horrendous chap (if you want proof, check out his Twitter page here.)
Difficult to untangle, we will be probably hearing more on this story, which involves a Harrogate law firm, some high risk investments and some disgruntled claimants.
In the meantime as silly season reaches its peak, a demurely named ‘private adult members club’ is set to be launched in Armley.
A strange choice of location perhaps, but it might also be worse that it was described as a ‘controlled environment’ for like-minded people to ‘explore’ their interests. It carried on in that vein and is well worth a read if you can traverse Leeds City Council’s planning site.
In the real world, even the slow month of August did not restrain Yorkshire businesses from investing in growth, with employment law specialists Consilia moving into offices and Shire Beds more than doubling production facilities with the acquisition of a new site.
