West of Waterlooville Forum Friday 22nd November 2013
If, per their drawings and graphics, they actually create the variety of tasteful properties promised. If the legacy they leave us with is a new residential site with a bit of style, instead of the typically boring and uniform boxes which has become the norm. Then I for one am for this development.
It’s a shame that the initial West of Waterlooville development by Taylor Wimpey at “Wellington Park” (Dukes Meadow, Old Park Farm) off the Hambledon Road is so awful. My observations, so far, of the Wellington Park development are that it is overcrowded and is of a mediocre design. Taking the road around the perimeter, towards the new tip, does not give a very good perspective. The site presents a pretty bland face to Joe Public.
And let’s spare a thought for the folks who had a view across Hambledon Road, across open fields and up the back of Portsdown Hill. They certainly have not been presented with a sympathetic replacement for that marvellous view. Rather they have had multistory apartments built directly in front of them. The equivalent of the developers, the planners and the architects presenting the home owners with a corporate middle finger.
I do hope that Phase 2 of Berewood is handled with a bit more sensitivity.
For those who could not attend the forum I’ve attached the presentation given by Redrow Homes for Phase 2 of the Berewood Site
New View From The Conservatory
The new patio, completed after a lot of hardwork, provides a good platform for our new, relatively, garden furniture.
Animals !!!
Thats the only word that can describe these teenagers and what they did to 50 year old Andrew Toseland.
I’d say that Brandon Fisher got off lightly with a sentence of only 27 months after an attack that left Andrew Toseland requiring 24-hour care for the rest of his life.
And there’s the nub. What kind of life will that be. He cannot walk. He can barely talk. In my mind these animals have left Andrew Toseland in a living hell.
Fisher got off lightly due to his reduce role in this vicious attack.
I trust that the judges come down hard on the leaders of the attack.
The News has published an article entitled “He’s very sorry” Referring to Fishers remorse over his role in the assault. Sorry is an over used word that has been significantly devalued. It is too easy to say sorry. It is harder and takes a stronger person to prevent the actions that make its use necessary.
‘He’s very sorry’ – family speaks out after attack – Local – Portsmouth News.
