| Waste ground, right next to the High Street |
For the second week in succession I had the privilege of meeting a
three-day old resident - a trend is developing here. Not that I mind, of
course.
I found overwhelming support for Labour, with no Tories or Lib Dems,
and a supporter each for UKIP and the Greens. This admittedly weird snapshot
does not fool me - I know that there are many Tories in Milton ward. However, I
am convinced that if we could persuade everyone to vote then there would be a v
ery healthy majority for Labour.
It was a bit chilly to be sure, but I still was warmly received. Conversation
topics included cockroaches, nightclub noise, anti-social behaviour, and that
ever present favourite - parking.
There is some waste ground right next to the High Street, at the
junction of Chichester Road and
Whitegate Road. I have no idea who owns it, but it has been like it for quite
some time. It is in a prime position, so something could be made of it I am
sure.

ReplyDeleteSuggestions Julian: get a council officer to use the Land Registry access to find out who owns it (or do it online yourself for a couple of quid). If no record of current ownership ask the adjacent properate owners and tenants what they'd like to see there. Community garden / allotment? Open space for drug taking and White Lightning swigging? I know where you mean and I bet you'vem already thought of all that anyway. Good luck to you for 'beating the bounds' of the ward, as always. Martin.
ReplyDeleteI have passed this plot many times and it would be a great place for a couple of goats to graze.
