  1. Point taken.

     

    I'm sure nobody will mind the next time there is a serious incident/RTA/medical emergency/fire.....that response times are a little slower, whilst suitable parking spaces were found!

     

    (Blue lights aren't always on..... particularly during the day when the vehicle is stationary!)

     

    As stated, we don't know the circumstances.... so can we not just give them the benefit of the doubt?

     

    Would they give you the benefit of the doubt in a similar situation? I am not disagreeing with you though. 

  2. Frank, with respect these problems went far beyond snagging problems and nearly 12 months after moving in she is still having problems!. Your comment about the Vortex site is irrelevent now, is wrong if they had listened and took note of the concerns raised at the planning stage about this site there will not be experiencing the problems now, also the police station was built on the car park for the youth club, and again that was pulled down because of the problems there.Having lived in Newton Farm for 40 years. I am well aware of the problem on the estate.

     

    Glenda, I have lived here all of my life, which is much longer than 40 years so I think that qualifies me to comment on the history of the Vortex site. Secondly, weren't most of these people given cash incentives to move too into their lovely new houses too?     (I am not referring to private tenants who have purchased some of these new houses) She should be happy that she has a new house! Some people will NEVER be able to have a new house.

    These are all common snagging issues which could take a year or so to rectify, the house is still settling and cracks, movement could appear up to a year or so after the house is built and take a while to settle down completely.

  3. Dilligaf, to be fair to Ms Jackson she has had a lot to put up with and up till May I was working on her behalf with HHL and  Keepmoat as one problem was resolved another came along. When she complained initially neither HHL or Keepmoat wanted to take responsibility and told her to go and speak to the other. The ground on the Vortex site should never had been built on , when it was the open space we had many problems with the ground over many years waterlog and on occasions sewage was running down the road because of the many houses that had been built in a small area around the Vortex site the sewage pipes could not cope. In regard to your comment she should of gone to HHL  not the HT, she did and she was getting nowhere fast..

     

    Whether the Vortex site sould of been built upon or not is irrelevant really because we have past that point. They built a police station on there without a problem and prior to that was a huge two storey youth club building which was there for many years, so it was okay for these buildings but not new houses? 

  4. I am often away on business as I work nationally but I will try and attend one of the next couple but to be honest most of the PC drive down the same roads as I do, so If I have noticed them surely they have...

     

    This is good community spirit at it's very best, so well done for doing something about cleaning these filthy road signs. The local parish has plenty of funds available, so why have they not done anything about these signs posts before now? Some of these signs look like they have not been cleaned in years.

  5. To little, to late has been done so far to catch the killer, hopefully something will come out of this tonight, see what is said in the update at 10.35 after the program is aired.

     

    I am not sure that that is a fair summary. I'm sure that the Police have done everything they can but I think the lack of an arrest is probably down to lack of witnesses or even no witnesses or evidence which has made the investigation a nightmare I would imagine.
