Message in a Bottle-neck!

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

We have lived in Kingsway for two years. As the site has developed and more and more villagers now reside here, isn’t it about time we had post boxes located in the village?

With the ‘green issue’ well and truly on everyone’s agenda, surely basic amenities like this should be a priority?

Currently it takes a round trip of nearly 5 miles and roughly 20 minutes to travel by car to a post box; one cannot always walk with a large volume of mail to post.

It feels as if we are waiting far too long for the ‘basics’ to be provided at Kingsway.

Vandalised Trees

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Following the blatant vandalism of - all but one of - the young trees lining the pathway between Mount Pleasant and the childrens play park on Valley Gardens, we have been informed by Bloor Homes (who are responsible for the upkeep of this strip of land) that “Unfortunately, we are unable to do anything in relation to vandalism and will not be replacing the trees. Obviously, this isn’t the answer you’ll want to hear but unfortunately, vandalism is out of our control.”

This means that if the vandals keep on the way they are going Kingsway will end up a bleak place to live. We apprecaite that developers should not have to cover the cost of vandalism but who then is accountable for this?

The young vandals seem to be running amok without any recompense whatsoever.

Surely something needs to be done to keep our village looking scenic and a pleasant place to live?
