| Yesterday I took the trouble to take photos of the empty properties on the estate where I live, and I sent them to The Dear Leader, the cabinet member for housing and local councillors. As my word about this was being doubted at the meeting on Wednesday night. The 'site office' house which Mr. Curran reckons is not a site office but a home being refurbished was closed with safety barriers around it and building detritus in the garden, the red 'site office' notice is still displayed. Sarcastically Mr. Curran suggested I get my facts right and pop in for a cup of tea with the workmen - I wish! I contacted a former councillor who lives opposite to ask her if she knew what was going on and she confirmed it has been used as a site office 'for months', and that prior to that once the previous tenant had gone it had been reported 'numerous times' as being a void.Well, if this is a refurb. it may well enter the Guinness Book of Records for the longest time ever as no-one goes nigh or by the site at all. As for the saga of the sheltered unit upgrade - no-one doubts that the building and fire regs. have to be of the highest spec. but please someone explain why you would approach people about downsizing and then take over a year to get work done to the place you've offered them? The saddest thing of all is the dismissive attitude of some smug, pompous councillors to their own resident's questions, and their inability to even consider there may be something that's not working properly and take the opportunity to try and resolve matters. |
