Sheila Dibnah and Heritage Centre’s planning permission
Just noticed a interesting paragraph from Sheila Dibnah’s web site:
(text removed 9th December – see below)
It’s a shame that Sheila, due to current legal arrangements, can’t give her backing help when it needs it most. Edit: Sheila has clarified from the comments section, once planning permission has been granted she will be able to give the Heritage Centre her full and active assistance.

Update #1 9th December: A comment has just been left by Jonathon Wild, who I gather is webmaster of Sheila Dibnah’s FredTalks.co.uk site, objecting to the text I quoted and screenshot I posted for the above news piece.
As requested by Mr Wild I have removed both the text and image that was causing concern, leaving just my own words and observations. I have also added clarification to my own observations.
Please follow the link at the top of this page to read the words that I’ve been requested remove. In case these words should change, which they no doubt will as legal situations change, please refer to this cached version of the page from November 2009 courtesy of Google.
Update #2 14 December: Title corrected after clarification by Sheila Dibnah in the comments section.
Dear John Brown,
I note that Jonathon Wild has been in touch regarding the website.
Please can you now also remove the misleading header on your website that I am unable to back planning permission reffering to the proposed Heritage Centre. This is inaacurate and confusing for fans, since I DO back plans for Fred’s former home to be utilised and once planning permission is granted I shall be doing all I can to help Jan and Leon to make Fred’s dream come true. It is in the intrim period that I cannnot help. Thank you.
Dear Sheila Dibnah,
Thank you for taking the time to post here. I have made corrections to the above story, apologies for the concern that the original content may have caused with yourself and others.
Please let me know directly if anything factually incorrect regarding yourself is posted here. I hope you feel as I do that correcting mistakes and misunderstanding is more beneficial than other methods to make any errors ‘disappear’, as the latter tends to lead to feelings of conspiracy.
Here’s to a happy outcome to this whole project.
Kind Regards,
Joe.
Thanks Joe – any assistance I can give you to promote Fred’s memory…just ask!
There are thousands of people out there as you know who still love/respect’Our Fred’. He’s pure legend. Let’s hope they get behind this project the same as they did the statue….
Have a Happy Christmas.
Kindest,
Sheila
how great it was and is to hear that sheila has been in touch with you and i hope that she will be able to get involved asap (as and when it it will be poss)
Have fred’s boys been involved with any of this, I have just watched a program with them all in and it would be lovely to know that they are still keeping in with their fathers legacy. Best of luck with your project and we intend to visit one day too. Kind regards Jo
