Snargate street
- 3 March 2013 15:24218586there have been differences of opinions on here about snargate street, took a few pics today from st brad's and although a few buildings are in need of a bit of a sprucing up the overall look was picturesque.

If practical maybe the Town Team could ask a local school to brighten it up as part of their course work.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Lincolnshire Born and Bred - 4 March 2013 10:08218691Snargate Street always reminds me of Balamory
Audere est facere. - 4 March 2013 10:11218693that letter from " a wrathful resident" has been on here before. remember the comment about the "take it easy men".
- 4 March 2013 10:32218696Snargate Street is at least very attractive with some beautiful vibrant colours. It's lovely to look across from De Bradelei Wharf and see all the colour along there. Yes Helen, agree, something desperately needed for Townwall Street, it's an absolute disgrace.
Some good photo spreads there Howard

4 March 2013 10:49218699snargate street vibrant in couler yes,tidy no,it needs deweeding from megger to york street roundabout.ortherwise no complaints from me. - 4 March 2013 11:03218704With Townwall Street, put up massive hoardings either side of the street as far as the bp garage creating a tunnel effect to blot out the eyesore.
Snargate Street is a pleasant view to the eye with it's colourful facades, as with most Mediterranean coastal villages, shades of Morano methinks
