Taylor’s Lane – directional sign
“… a replacement sign has been included in the first monthly street name plate order of this financial year which is almost complete. Timescale for the sign to be erected is likely to be six to eight weeks or sooner if possible.”
And yet more blots on the landscape …
Last month, I attempted, at the City Council’s Development Management Committee, to stop ugly BT Openreach ‘utility’ boxes being placed at three sites in Conservation Areas in the West End.
Tonight, at this month’s committee, I moved refusal of two more of these unsightly boxes being placed near Blackness Primary School and in Taylor’s Lane. The residents in Taylor’s Lane near to the site of one of these boxes are very unhappy about this being placed adjacent to their homes, but unfortunately I lost the vote 16-8. I again make the point that BT Openreach should provide appropriate and sympathetically designed utility boxes in Conservation Areas, rather than saddling the community with large, ugly and unsightly boxes.
I am sure no-one is against improving the broadband services that these boxes service, but housing the equipment in these ugly boxes is a blight on our conservation areas. A bit of community concern on behalf of BT Openreach would be welcomed.
Graffiti action …
I am grateful to Scottish & Southern Energy for its very prompt attention to removing offensive graffiti on the electricity sub-station at Magdalen Green that I brought to its attention towards the end of this week, following residents’ concerns.
I am also grateful to the City Council for cleaning off graffiti in parts of Taylor’s Lane. I am also speaking with the Waste Management Department about getting further graffiti cleaned off flats elsewhere in the street.
