WATCH out Chester-le-Street, a two-legged planning disaster is heading your way!

I am of course referring to the departure of 'planner' Templeman. He has clearly demonstrated how to ruin two millennia of careful development in just six years.

Why is it he's decided to leave now?

Has he finally realised the error of his ways and decided to leave while the going's good?

Having destroyed our city it's Chester-le-Street's turn next!

He won't be missed. One down more to follow!
