John Fareham and John Abbott have secured an interim solution to the problem of loss of visual amenity for those whose homes face the Council depot on Chanterlands Avenue North.
We have been liaising with the officers on this and it has been proposed that the concrete buildings in the depot be painted green to make their appearance less offensive in the hope that this will suffice as a temporary measure until the foliage at the front has had the chance to grow enough to provide proper screening. We now understand the job has been passed to NPS who will do the work as soon as they can obtain the correct kind of paint. It goes without saying that if this does not prove sufficient we will consider other options, but part of the issue hitherto has been finding a solution which does not have negative impact on the traffic situation by either blocking drivers’ views when they leave the depot or hiding them from motorists on Chanterlands Avenue North as they turn onto it. We are outraged by how long this has taken - it is a simple matter but we have seen the Council passing the buck from department to department.
