Yeh .. like Bernard said was in the Peel Ward .. but not aimed politically at all the Peel Ward if you understand, only the areas which needed priority attention.

He's smiling because of the great weekend he's got lined up...a home win at Stanley tomorrow, then a bit of multicultural mixing in Oakhill Park on Sunday. ;)

Re: Most depressing street
 

Don't forget Liverpool v Spurs 4pm Sunday:D

Re: Most depressing street
 

Well, Wynonie ... if he would honour us with his presence at the Accyweb meet tomorrow night .. would be a 'weekend from heaven' for him.

Re: Most depressing street
 

That might just be the blackspot of the weekend Bagpuss wasn't Spurs one of only two teams to beat Liverpool last season:D:p

Re: Most depressing street
 

Anyone who knows Peel ward like you do, know that these are the areas that are in the greatest decline.

You're becoming bit cynical. Apparently it can at times be a trait of people who live south of the Load of Mischief in Clayton.

Re: Most depressing street
 

I think we all know where the blackspot will be this weekend, don't we Gayle?:eek::D

Re: Most depressing street
 

Sorry Bernard .. don't understand the 'cynical' bit ... I am not commenting at all on the plans, just trying to explain did not cover Peel Park as a ward (which some people may be confused with) ... just an area of Peel Park which requires the most attention ... :confused:

Re: Most depressing street
 

Apologies Kate, My comment wasn't meant seriously. Just my poor attempt at humour. You're right about the plans for the ward. It's an attempt to deal with the worst areas.

Re: Most depressing street
 

Stick to the day job then ... :D:D

All a matter of money isn't it ? .... that's why can only deal with one area at a time, before anyone asks.

Re: Most depressing street
 

As long as that "area" covers the bottom quarter of Water St it will be an improvement...

Re: Most depressing street
 

Demolition would be the best improvement fer that bit.:rolleyes:

Re: Most depressing street
 

Iv lived in Hudson St, Royds St, Rothwell Ave and Hopwood St before moving to Ossy. I doubt I could live any them streets ever again. But the neighbourhoods was ok, just the houses and areas run down.

Re: Most depressing street
 

I went to the town hall after work but there was nobody to talk to only a display of the same stuff available on HBC website, I really wanted to talk to someone just to stop the wifey nagging as from the plans it looks like we could lose our house. I have asked at least 10 people from the peel ward and nobody knew of any meeting not even the residents who live across from Cambridge St Church where the meeting was held, this makes me very wary. Lindsay did you know of this meeting beforehand?

Re: Most depressing street
 

I don't know Bagpuss .. not involved whatsoever, just interested ... seems this has been on the website, advertised in the press and I understand there was a leaflet drop (maybe only the bottom half though ?). Best to ask Bernard or Graham.

Like I said Chris Taylor seemingly is a very enthusiastic Housing Regeneration Manager, and is willing to talk to anyone about this scheme.. can E-mail or ring the number. No, I don't know him myself .. just someone who does that's all.
