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 concerns and to ensure they finish the job and restore this beautiful building.

If you know of any other sites within cathedral ward that have been left unfinished, please do let us know!

Your Labour councilors taking action on the issues that you raise

We will always be on YOUR SIDE.

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...
