Preston Park lodge demolition plans rejected by Stockton Council
Plans to knock down a vandalised lodge and replace it with a partial replica of itself have been refused by Council's planning committee decided the money would be better spent restoring the South Lodge, near Preston Park Museum in Stockton, after it was "left to rot and ruin".After a narrow vote, councillors rejected the authority's plan to demolish the condemned lodge and build a piece of public officers said the building was of "low architectural importance". The lodge was built between 1919 and 1939 to replace an earlier building and was used as a home until 2019, according to the Local Democracy Reporting is currently unused and boarded proposed structure would have consisted of three arch-like alloy steel structures with boards showing the history of the area. Planning officers recommended approving the scheme but Councillor John Coulson called the proposed structure "monstrous". Councillor Tony Riordan said: "I'm concerned that, once we're allowed to get rid of an asset, it's gone, it doesn't come back."Would that money not be better spent preserving what is a building in curtilage of a heritage asset."Councillor Lynn Hall told the committee: "We've left it to rot and ruin really.""I don't think we've looked at any alternatives. "Once that lodge goes, it's gone forever. We should be trying to keep it at all costs." Planning services manager Simon Grundy said the lodge was considered of "low architectural importance" and only of historical significance because of its ties to the Grade II Preston said its loss would be "marginally outweighed by the public benefits" of the sculpture voted seven to six to refuse the plan.

'Sullivan's Crossing' Season 3: Chad Michael Murray, Morgan Kohan tackle relationship tension
In Sullivan's Crossing Season 3, Episode 6, things get heated between Cal (Chad Michael Murray) and Maggie (Morgan Kohan). After she told Cal that she didn't want to move in with him, the question is whether their relationship will last. Additionally, it's an uphill battle for Rob (Reid Price), who has to fix up the lodge in just two weeks when the health and safety officer returns. But additional snags make Rob's dream diner look almost impossible to achieve. Starting with the lodge, Jacob (Joel Oulette) is able to identify that there's "wet rot," a fungus that gets into wood when it's damp. Rob has to replace the infected parts and treat the rest to make sure it doesn't spread. But things get worse when they find a giant water stain on the floor, meaning all the plumbing has to be replaced. Luckily, Cooper (Steve Lund) agrees to have the guys from the fire station help at the lodge, so Rob can, hopefully, make the two-week deadline. But when one of the firefighters gets stomach pain, can't breathe and eventually develops a rash, the question is whether there's possibly something at the lodge that caused the reaction. Sully (Scott Patterson) is feeling guilty about not checking the condition of the lodge before promising the space to Rob. But when Helen (Kate Vernon) comes over to comfort him, she convinces Sully to take a yoga class to ease his mind, as much as possible. On the way back from the class, Helen probes about something Sully's wanted to do that can push him out of his comfort zone. Sully reveals that he's always wanted to try ballroom dancing, and she recommends they look into taking classes together. Meanwhile, Edna (Andrea Menard) is facing her own medical issues. After experiencing possible menopause symptoms, she finally goes to see a doctor about hot flashes, feeling anxious and getting headaches. But when she gets there, the doctor is quite dismissive, saying that she didn't book a physical and she should make an appointment with an OBGYN. Frank (Tom Jackson) is furious about how she was treated, but following that appointment, Edna tells him she's thinking about retiring. Now on to the tense relationship between Cal and Maggie. While Maggie wants to have a conversation with Cal about where they stand, he's more interested in channelling the awkwardness into fixing the lodge. Eventually talking, Maggie says she feels Cal has "some things to work out" before they move in together, but Cal questions whether it's really him that's the problem. At the hospital, following the incident with the firefighter who was working on the lodge, Cal says he thought that they were going to move their relationship forward. And says Maggie isn't being honest to herself about why she doesn't want to move in with him. "I think there's something you're holding back, Maggie," Cal says. "And until you figure that out, I just don't think there's anything left to talk about." Maggie tries to talks to Sully about it, but they're interrupted when Helen, who's coming out of the shower at Sully's place, comes downstairs. Then, while Maggie thought her mom was calling, it was Walter (Peter Outerbridge) on the line. Maggie calls him out for telling her that her father didn't want to have anything to do with her. "I was just trying to protect you, Maggie," he says in response, adding that he thinks she should be moving back to Boston to continue to pursue her career as a surgeon. Maggie stresses that she didn't leave Boston because of Walter, the Crossing is her home. But that conversation was enough to go back to Cal, running to his house in the rain. Maggie tells Cal he was right, she hasn't been honest with herself. "I'm scared of making a mistake," Maggie says. "I'm scared of losing myself." "I spent my entire life trying to be perfect, trying to prove that I was someone worth loving, and I am scared that if we do this that you're going to wake up one day and realize that I'm not what you want." "I know how hard it is for you to let yourself trust someone, " Cal says in response. "I need you to give me a chance. Give us a chance. I love you, Maggie. I just want to make you happy. If you'll let me." And some passionate making out, and a little more, implies that things end up OK between the show's star couple. Speaking of romance, Jacob and Lola (Amalia Williamson) spend more time together, as she helps him with his research on lichens. That's when they share their first kiss. But the shut down mine they were waiting out the storm in seems to collapse to end the episode. Hopefully they're OK when we see the new couple next week.
