Families have finally been able to move into the new Hob Stones development on Windsor Garth. The development was over 18 months behind schedule.
There is still a lot of tidying up to do and people living in nearby flats have complained about damage to grassed areas and inadequate road repairs.
These issues are being followed up by local Councillors.
The building compound area will need major remedial work
There has been a lot of damage to grassed areas although this one opposite the new development could provide additional car parking spaces
Some carriageways have now been resurfaced
Although we have reported a lot of detritus in the gutters
On Hob Stones itself, the new play area has not been completed.
….but it appears that the developers have pulled back from their threat to remove the security railings from the northern boundary. The railings are still there albeit in need of a coat of paint. The railings will make life more difficult for criminals
