Not so fantastic -in Fordwych Road and on Sidings

On Saturday - walking between our Councillors advice surgery in West End Sidings Community Centre and the one in Templar House Tenants Hall, I walked up Fordwych Road. Outside one house two mattresses were propped up against a tree. It always amazes me that in a road full of such very handsome Victorian houses and splendid mature trees, people seem to use the trees as natural dumping grounds! Anyway I reported the mattresses and hope they have disappeared now.

"Nightmare on Brassey Road"

Walking round West End Sidings Estate on Saturday I was particularly struck by the horrendous mess the new heating works are making of the estate. The one way system has been suspended and cars are being diverted down the usually pedestrian Hall Oak walk. Brassey Road has a great trench down the middleof it, pedestrians are confined by high wire fences and at least one garden is completely destroyed! All this detracts somewhat from the improvements to the Peace Park ! But if it improves heating on the estate..........
