The saga continues.
The coach which turns round on the allotment car park (think it's the school swimming bus), reversed into the new fencing. A fence pole now leans inwards.

Due to there being no heating in a building which needs to 'dry out' and which has been boarded up for weeks on end(no ventilation), there is now interior mould growth ruining the newly painted interior walls.
Any contractor should have seen this coming.

I have been told that a trench across the length of the allotment car park and across the (newly tarmaced) pavilion car park, will be dug to lay a gas pipeline to the pavilion. This didn't happen last year when the other mains services were laid, because the contractor mistakenly assumed that the council owned the land where the trench needs to be, when in fact it is owned by Hyndburn Homes and forms part of the land area relating to the flats.

I can expect my gas supply to be temporarly interrupted late February whilst the gas pipeline is laid.
This will render my heating, hot water and cooking facilities useless whilst it is likely that winter weather will still be with us. I suspect that my combi boiler will need restarting and I don't know how.

As you will have seen from my earlier posts, this project has lacked proper planning and has been a disruptive nuisance for us nearby residents.

The groundwork on the draining of the pitches is behind schedule and cannot be restarted until the Spring. So I have another summer of nuisance and noise in prospect.

It looks likely that no use of the field for football will be possible until 2013.
Since I have no liking for football, this is the only saving grace of this whole fiasco.
