debbie as roxy, shafting her own brother taking his garage?

[Jadefalcon]

What are we talking about exactly. A small garage, the factory, and how many houses, three...four? He'll probably want the salon/flat and the Kabin too, but even then, that's not a lot of space to build a residential/entertainment complex that he's suggested unless there are more properties that have stayed invisible all these years.

Is Ray around for revenge on someone there in particular or just to demolish the whole place?

Coronation Street schemer Ray Crosby faces the wrath of the local residents next week as his skyscraper plans are exposed.

Ray (Mark Frost) is currently plotting to demolish half of the Street and build a luxury tower block, but most people in the community are currently oblivious.

Next week, Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) becomes the latest person to fall into Ray's trap as she finalises plans to sell her home. She's delighted when Ray agrees to sort her out with a property in Hale Barns at a significant discount.

Sally meets with Ray's sidekick Roxy, but when Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) spots them parting ways, she realises that she recognises Roxy.

Abi then makes the mistake of confiding in Ray's other partner-in-crime Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney), expressing fears that the villain is planning to buy up the whole street.

Abi soon realises that she's right when Craig Tinker comes clean with her about the incriminating paperwork he found in Ray's office.

Before long, Sally is part of the detective work and receives confirmation from a contact on the council that a planning application has been submitted to knock down half of the street.

Debbie warns Ray that Abi is onto them, but promises that she won't let anybody ruin their plans.

Abi proves to be an impressive opponent as she rallies the neighbours together and they make plans to gatecrash Ray's big press launch.

Ray responds by making an offer to the locals, which leaves Sally, Dev Alahan, Brian Packham and Roy Cropper with lots to discuss.

Sally is adamant that, whatever Ray is offering, they must not give into a man who is planning to destroy their community.

Abi, Adam, David and Sarah also realise that without the factory, Ray's plans will be scuppered. They wonder if Ray has approached Gary and set off to find out.

Later in the week, the fightback takes another twist when Abi reveals plans to have the brewery listed as a historical building, which would prevent Ray's development work.

Debbie warns Ray that Abi is plotting, but once again promises that she'll stay one step ahead.

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, November 30, Wednesday, December 2 and Friday, December 4 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.

As soon as planning permission is sought, the plans have to be published by the Council for anyone to read. No need for any detective work!

True but to be honest, would anyone on Coronation Street ever suspect a major building development replacing their homes is planned and therefore go and check?
