Rainhill Road wall repairs

John Fareham and John Abbott report that the damage to the outer wall of the Rainhill Road sheltered housing complex has now been repaired. As we reported in CONTACT! 1444, we contacted the Railway Housing Association and the Police in connection with a motor vehicle having run into the wall and left a rather substantial hole behind. They undertook to get it repaired and the work has since been completed. We would like to place on record our gratitude to all concerned for their prompt reaction to our report, and in particular to those who did the repairs; the bricks they used were an exact enough match that, when the weather has done its bit, it will be difficult to tell where the original brickwork ends and the repairs begin. As we see it, that’s how it should be, but since there remains no shortage of drivers who can’t tell Chanterlands Avenue and the Top Gear test track apart, we will of course keep an eye open for any other damage that needs reporting.
