Ongoing groundworks at East Street

Residents in and around East Street and at the bottom of First Street may have noticed that a heap of boulders has built up on land nearby. These are to used in completing the works I’ve requested to make the land at the bottom of Aspatria Avenue and Chicken’s Green secure against trespass (please see post dated Thursday 28 January 2021: https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2021/01/first-phase-of-safety-measures-at.html  for background details).

Works already carried out include the erection of a new, lockable boom gate designed to allow access for grounds maintenance teams while at the same time preventing access by vehicles which residents have reported are causing damage to the grassed area at the bottom of Corry Close and onwards onto Chicken’s Green.

The clean and green team will be carrying out additional works in due course, and I’m advised that the boulders will be placed in position as soon as the ground dries out sufficiently.
