Today I went to Dylways Garden to collect some hollyhock seeds. I came away with a lot more! But my goodness, what a garden! It's lovely. Even at this time of year when gardens, including mine, look terrible. The people in charge are putting in so much work to make this patch a little oasis of loveliness. And now they have a grant, thank goodness, and they are putting it to such good use.


I can only urge people who have the time to go and give a little help. Maybe just an hour a week. And you'll be fed and watered as you work! It's amazing what has been achieved. Community action at work! And something that could be achieved throughout the borough.

Thank you so much to both A and chris.

I appreciate your encouraging and supporting comments .

Yes we have achieved quite alot this summer even with just 4 or people popping in now and then.

It would be really appreciated if more volunteers cdould offer an hour here and there. we are trying to get winter growing up and running, I am looking for help to make a veg patch 9 by 3.5ft if any one can with getting it on its way That would be great.

Yes Anne I love sharing the plants I grow and we sell them cheaply too to raise more funds for next springs

Plants seeds/materials etc.

The funding will be spent to create a lovely seating /eating area and a nice dog Run fo the residents that have dogs, and some nice plants.

So yes even though summer is on its way out we are still out there trying to get a little more

done before the real winter days arrive.

If any one can come along and help out that would be great.

Free plants to all volunteers through out the year, and you shall be fed and watered as always whilst your here.


Hope to hear from some of you even if its for an hour only That hour is precious to us.

      The lack of affordable housing is down to Thatcher's promoting sale of council properties. When I was working, I had to deal with many families/older folk/ disabled folk in inferior housing. The worst ones were ex council properties purchased by their tenants  with a very high discount who then sold on for a profit. The new owners frequently rented out at exorbitant prices and failed to maintain the properties. I remember a gentleman who needed to be visited by a district nurse daily becoming very upset as he rented a room in an ex council flat and shared kitchen and bathroom with 6 other people  (it was a 3 bed flat) the landlord did not allow visitors to the flat and this gut was frightened he would be evicted if the nurse visited daily. Unfortunately, the guy was re admitted to hospital and ended up in a care home as he could not receive medical help at home.   Private developers  are not keen on providing a larger percentage of 'social housing' as it dents their profits. Also a social rent is still around £200 plus a week

      roof repairs and guarantees

      By Katherty · Posted

      Hello, I was wondering if others have had experience of roof repairs and guarantees. A while back, we had a water leak come through in our top floor room.  A roofer came and went out on the roof to take a look - they said it was to do with a leak near the chimney.   They did some rendering around the chimney and this cost £1800 plus £750 for scaffolding (so £2,550 total).  They said the work came with a 10 year guarantee. About a year later, there was another leak on the same wall, which looked exactly the same size and colour as the previous leak. But it was about 2 metres away from it, on the other side of a window.  I contacted the roofer about this new leak, thinking it would be covered by the guarantee. However, he said the new leak was due to a different and unrelated problem, and so was not covered by the guarantee. This new leak, he said, was due to holes in the felt underneath the tiles. He said there are holes in the felt all over the roof (so if this was the cause, I expect the first leak may have been caused by that too - but he didn't mention the holes in the felt for the first repair). It feels like the 10-year guarantee doesn't mean much at all.  I realise that the guarantee couldn't cover all future problems with the roof, but where do you draw the line with what's reasonable?  Is it that a leak is only covered if an identical leak happens in exactly the same place?  There were no terms and conditions with the guarantee, which I didn't question at the time.
