Is this what you want for our environment ?.   













                             This was taken on Sunday the 28th April 2013 around  11.00 am

 This is at the top of Chapel St Barrhead East Renfrewshire.Your blogger recalls the area from youth there was a small garden center and a number of small works nature is now reclaiming the the area I wonder what the people of the future will think.

On Monday I will be off to a meeting in the council offices.This is about what is being called customer involvement and the preparation of the council's annual report. I will post more latter.

Do you or any one that you know dew to retire please get advice to make sure everything is in place on time.
I thought it would be a simple matter bit trying to read and complete all the paper work was a nightmare.

                                                                REMBER  WE NEED YOU

 
The long time empty block is a sad reflection on our wee bit of Barrhead. There is much needed houses including a four apartment I will continue to try to get more information on when something will be done. At present I understand the council are seeking legal advice on the issue.

It is hoped that work will continue with the roofing and rendering of our area.This is all included in the 2013/14 plan of works.

Just how I feel about repairs service there is historical issues about water entering part of the building it is only to apparent that there is something far wrong with records. Good as the staff are there are constant calls for access to check the same issues. It is to be hoped that when the new I T system comes in that time will be found  to input some of the historical repairs,checks or any other issue.

                          I do not blame the staff they are working under great pressure.

In the mean time do not forget that we could do with some help in getting our wee group back up and running please contact  us if you can assist. I could do with some help with distributing flyers ect for any meetings.

It is not a bad place but we could make it a grate place to live in and for people to bring their kids up. We have a very good park which is not being used.




      
 
 
 
As you see we have C C T V in the park which provides increases security for all.

                                                                          Our wee hall

                                                             Part of our we bit of the planet
                            The photo above shows the long empty block. We await information on just when we will see work restart on this building. One thing is certain we need the flats.Information at this time is work stopped when the contractor went bust. It appears that there are legal issues which require attention.I will not hold my breath.


      I have contacted our council again about the state of the pavement in Blackwood St. Yes we all know that there has to be cuts but at what cost to safety. We have vulnerable people around.  

                                               I hope all are having a nice holiday
