MakeItStoke - don't over look Tunstall, we've still got at lot to offer as a town, and a work force

I've just been having a nosey at the MakeItStoke website after seeing a bit of chatter of it on facebook.

What I saw surprised me at first, as although some of our potential sites feature high in some material but when it comes to putting us on a map we've been declassified.

As well as the controversial change to the location previously known as Hanley, now to be known as Stoke-on-Trent City Centre (I think Hanley is easier to say), it looks like Tunstall has been rebranded to potential investors and it's now being shoved under North of the City.

Considering the Tunstall area is the home of one of the worlds most prestigious pottery firms Churchill, houses the worlds greenest warehouse, has land ripe for development down the newly created Tunstall Northern bypass we'd get a bit of a mention.

Just because we are in the north of the city doesn't mean we need to sweep our town under the carpet,

At the meeting about the Tunstall's latest sculpture to be housed on the Goldendale hill a chap named Paul said this was a fantastic opportunity to advertise the workers of Tunstall and the ones desperate for jobs and want to show our willingness to work.
