Re: Town Centre Changes
Wish I'd had known. I love birds of prey. Could you just take photos of the birds?

Calm down dear... there's assumptions and assumptions.... and as you very well know it not the quantity it's the quality.

Town Centre Changes
Retlaw and Barrie can make libellous statements about me in a public forum if you like but when proven to be entirely incorrect and baseless you should at least have the decency to admit it.
The only buildings I've done on Warner, and the only ones I've ever claimed on Warner are 26 and 28. You might not think much has been done but again you have no idea of what has actually been done to the roof, the windows, the damp, the rot, or anything else. At the moment you can't even see in 26 due to the eyesore of a window. 26 will be fully renovated by end August. 28 will take longer as its a more complex job.
The other building I sorted is 28 St James St which stood abandoned and empty for over 5 years before I bought it at auction. It was empty because you can't spend nothing on a building for 30 years and expect a tenant will want it. The state of the building stock in the town is one of the issues that the town must face before it can attract anyone to visit, live, or work.

Re: Town Centre Changes
The Birds believe it or not actually live in Shadsworth (shock horror, even owls survive up there, even if the documentary said otherwise) they have special events on at Ossy Mills with them a few times a year, beautiiful animals, great pics Jen
If anyone else likes birds of prey its well worth a visit to Leeds Armouries, they have allsorts of birds there, they show them off in the Tilt Yard, its a good day out

What libelous statements are these then, you have been coming on about what youv'e done with empty properties in Acc for the past 4 months, as if you had renovated the whole of Warner St, when Barrie & I who regularly travel up and down Warner St could see little evience, now it turns out its only 26 & 28 Warner, new roof bit of dry rot etc, my daughter had her house reslated new tile lats, under felt dozens of new slates etc, 3 days top, your mans still at it 3 months later.

Town Centre Changes
You can start with your statement that my only involvement in the street is via Google Earth. You are suggesting that I'm not renovating anything and and therefore a liar, subsequently proved to be wrong.
I don't need to follow up my proof that you're defaming me by further providing you with evidence of work undertaken to buildings on this street, St James St or others.
Fact is by Sept I will have completed total renovation of 4 addresses in the central conservation belt. Walk around the town with your eyes shut and your mind closed if you wish but don't make incorrect statements about me.

I don't go roumd with my eyes shut, whay i think would have been better was to have kept your mouth shut till you'd finished, like the yanks with their space race, all mouth. The Russians said nowt and showed them how it was done when Gagarin spoke for the first time.
