Keep Calm and Carry On?

A sad situation which has come to light over the last month. It is in relation to a TRO on London Road between St Martin’s Church on London Road and Wych Elm Close on London Road. I heard about this TRO in December last year. I immediately let the Warden of St Martin’s church know as well as the Rev Ken Boyce about the matter as they and their Congregation would be most affected by this. The historic Church and Hall of ST Martin’s is an integral part of our community where many users use the facilities for Worship, community activities such as Fitness activities, Playgroups and meetings, parties as well as the traditional marriage ceremonies, christenings and funerals. The use of on street parking is vital to the Church and its success. The TRO proposed would effectively cause residents and Church users alike to park in already congested side streets like Victoria Avenue & Sebright Avenue or much further away, thus causing the same issues further along the road. The T...

Fort Royal Update

I am bitterly disappointed at not getting the HLF bid, however am now optimistic that the original plans of improving the play area and the entrance to the park will now get done quicker something the residents have always wanted as a key priority. Worcester Standard Article AMBITIOUS plans to breathe new life into an historic city park have suffered a setback after it emerged the project had failed in its bid to secure £1million in lottery funding. Worcester City Council had hoped to win the backing of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to help cover the cost of a major overhaul of Fort Royal Park on Wylds Lane which stands on one of the key sites of the English Civil War. But the council and its partners were disappointed to discover the bid had failed and they must now decide what parts of the project can still be pursued. The council has already pledged £200,000 from its own budget towards improvements to the park to help celebrate its great historical significa...

Royal Porcelain- Abandoned Building and Gulls

    The site of the former Porcelain Factory was once a proud heritage asset for our city, sold of years ago to a national builder Berkley Homes.   To one side it is occupied and to the other you could be forgiven to think that it was an abandoned haunted house in the woods which time has forgotten. Over time rats/Gulls and Pigeons have taken over the building causing a huge nuisance to the local residents the roof collapsed and some action was taken to board up the windows. Residents have contacted us and we have taken action – We have been in contact with enforcement officers to ask them to serve notice on the developer to put new windows in and to restore it to its former glory. We have also been in contact with Gull control officers to ask them to implement gull control measures in the area. Developers must be held to account and not just scarper from a site once they have made their money.   We will be writing to the developer to express our concer...
