Even worse in a Victorian terraced house especially with children and barking dogs one side and an HMO on the other.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Interesting? Motion to Full Council next week:-
(2) In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 13, Councillor P J Hawkins will
move:
“Other Councils are buying properties on new developments in our district to
house people on waiting lists. This Council agrees to purchase similar properties
within the district to house those on our waiting list and the homeless.”
There goes the neighbourhood!

From down in the town It's noticeable that some work is going on.
Can't quite work out if it is new build or refurbing the old buildings?

From what can be seen in town above Connaught park is new build.I often walk across those hills and i dont remember any old buildings left after the barracks was pulled down,not sure about the other side of the road,Duke of york side.

I'm always walking that way and there is only one original building left which has become a "bat refuge", just by the narrow bit of the road where the ditch was.
Otherwise, nothing is left, all new build.
