I was at a council meeting last night, and one guy from the end of my street had previously complained about a Burger van operating for the last 4 years from the verge, and his customers blocking residents driveways.
Appaparently the complaint resulted in the council discovering the Burger van operator didnt have the planning permission and possibly the licence he needed to operate from the location. The guy in question as a result had submitted a planning application to the council and they sent out letters to residents about the application.
There was great concern because only a very small number of residents had received these official letters, the council official from planning was present and handed a list of addresses that had been sent letters.
The guy who had complained looked at the list and started to read out the addresses, he looked over at me because he knows I have lived here for about 23 years and spent most of my life here as it was my grandfathers house.
No 15 Ba***** Terrace
No 16 Ba***** Terrace
That raised a smile because they have never existed, they start at 17 an end at 26 :dunce:
xyz house
That one was knocked down about 20 years ago, and was empty for at least 5 years before that. :rolleyes:
Te******* House
That one, I can just about remember being knocked down when I was in short trousers. I would guess it has been demolished about 33 years ago. :dunce:
How safe we feel in the knowledge that our council have their finger on the pulse. :D
