Property Developers need to be held to Account!

 

Porcelain Property Developer

When you buy a new property on a new site, you usually expect your Property Developer to build to the highest standard and finish the job.

 Far too many developers get away with shoddy jobs or leave jobs unfinished, often taking the easiest and cheapest route out!

Leaving residents to foot the bill in often hefty maintenance and leaseholder charges.

Here in the Porcelain the developer has built on the former porcelain site and has left the site with some rather concerning issues!

When the old canal Wall was rebuilt by the property developer, it was built poorly

The Wall is now bowing out and in danger of eventually falling down!  This poses a danger to canal boat users!

The Metal Railings are falling apart, and the ground is sinking, this is a big concern to residents who were initially been asked to foot the bill for these faults by the developer, residents have contacted us and we are taking action! We need to hold developers to account!


Action: Developer Contacted to advise of issues

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...

Pro-Act not Re-Act

Just a quick reminder, there is an organised gang, possibly with inside information targeting Asian households in particular. They stake out before entering. Today a house on Victoria Avenue was targeted. The occupants left the house for only 40 minutes, nothing was taken they were after Jewellery & Cash.  I have written to the police to inform them of the increase in targeted burglaries in the area and for some urgency to be put on the matter. In the mean time there are some practical steps we can all take, they are logical and common sense tips if followed, will result in frustrating the burglars and lessening the impact of the burglaries. Graham Houghton  can be contacted as well as the Community Safety Officer  Jude Langton  at Worcester City Council for more information. Lock all doors & Windows Install an Alarm Install & invest in a CCTV system Keep Large amounts of Cash & Jewellery in a Safe or Safety Deposit box in the bank, Inform your nei...
