I joined the council meeting on the grants and seem to remember a long discussion about how the beds on court needed far more spending on them and so granting anything from CGS would be ineffective. Can?t remember the detail any more but sure it?s in the minutes of that meeting- there was a summary of each bid and outcome I think

That meeting wasn't minuted, conveniently.

It may not be the best use of the funds but it's a darn sight better than a mini Festival, for the benefit of a few homeowners who can't even be bothered to water the planters outside or near their doors and that are there to block traffic for their advantage. Saw this on twitter the other day.

While the council are at it could they beautify the rest of the old Area B? I know it has potential.

The Court Lane beds stuff was potentially out of the Devolved Highways Fund, whereas Harmony in the Square was from the Neighbourhoods Fund. I'm not sure if there was ever a document explaining the rationale for which projects were chosen. It seems to be at the discretion of the local councillors.

Except this is the document that was produced on the night of the awards. I am talking of the night the different groups made their pitch to councillors - it was not minuted/recorded.

    • Initially, when all the discussion took place at Bradbury some of existing building was to be demolished which meant that 3 flats would go but these residents would have to wait until new building erected to be housed. No indication has been given as to where people would be placed during building. I am glad that the tree is to remain - Bradbury residents contacted various environmental groups to lobby for tree to remain. I gather that there is likely to be a question of restricted views to be made by Wood Vale residents as 5 stories is significantly higher than current building.
