Hi Clare,

On the subject of the Residents Association, I’ve managed to get some info’ and have created a new post about it here.

Hi carpo18mav,

On the subject of your post (March 12th) I’ve added a comment about it here.

Hi Clare,

The parking by the “sausage shaped island” was a real pain before the lines appeared.

I haven’t heard anything about a Residents Association but I’ll make enquiries.

Re leaflets and your business: I sent you two emails on Friday about this. If you didn’t get them please let me know and I’ll re-send them.

Regards,
Clive

Hi all
With regard to parking in Woodvale, I live in the furthest part of Woodvale (number 127) and will really welcome the double yellow lines when they are added. People park in a very inconsiderate manner and I would far rather have lines outside my house to stop this, than not. I can’t comment about the effect on house prices but from personal experience I would always incline towards a house with the lines if on a main road to avoid the banging doors and shouting that come with having open parking facilities.
My house is on the sausage shaped island and people persist in parking right on the pavement where the island is. That means we cannot get out of the front of our house!!
With regard to the mud, well, we all knew we were moving to a building site! David Wilson Homes advised us when we moved in that the blacktop on the parking at the rear and the pavements at the front should be complete by the end of March, although this isn’t currently looking likely. But if we weren’t prepared to contend with mud we would have moved somewhere where there isn’t any!

On another point entirely, if there is to be a residents association I would be pleased to be involved, and Clive, I am leafleting the village shortly for a fledgling business I am trying to get off the ground, and would be glad to drop your leaflets at the same time. No sense in us both getting sore legs!

Regards to all
Clare

Hi,

I agree the mud on the roads in the area is terrible.

But my gripe is with Barratt, these cowboys must have the worst team of builders working for them. Along with others in our street (3 houses that we’ve talked to) have had numerous instances of just downright shabby workmanship. We moved in 9 months ago, and are still awaiting resolution of certain issues.

Not only would I never recommend Barratt’s to anybody, I would go as far as actually advising people not to buy from them!

You’re welcome.

It sounds as if you have good reason to sound miserable

Our house was built by Bryant, they were excellent (before, during and after) so I’m afraid I can’t help. I hope somebody else can
