Land Issues:

Another meeting was held with officials from Gateshead Council. It appears that they had met with the highways department who have issues with the access to the site. A meeting is to be arranged to dicsuss any issues. There is still no progress with the lease and the official dealing with the matter will not give any information regrading her contact within Pinnacle who she is dealing with. It is becoming a nightmare to get any information from this person but we will keep trying.
