what have they done! Court lane was closed for maybe 6-8 weeks and reopened a few weeks ago. The pavement on the north side of court lane, at the junction of lordship lane, has been drastically widened i.e. the road has been narrowed. so now if you want to turn left, you have to queue behind all the cars that want to turn right! Lordship lane is busy so the queue can get quite long to get onto LL. Before these changes i could turn left nice and quickly. Ahhhhh is there an abundance of pedestrians who need to wait on this extra pavement to cross the road to the park. whenever i have walked to the park (which is quite often) I did not feel that there was a lack of pavement. was this a necessary spend? the roads in so many areas of ED have pot holes and court lane has been redone approximately 3 times in the last 6 months!


Rant over!....for now

Some of the changes were deemed necessary for safety and I am glad that they have been effective. I still don't understand why the north side of the pavement was widened. It is a really very generous walkway now; could probably take 10 or more buggies or wheelchairs. The pavement is quite narrow on the east side of LL (between barry road and Mount Adon)and often requires darting into single file, the west side is better but I don't know why this pavement needed to encroach into the road with subsequent queuing to get out of court lane if you want to turn left down to ED.



anyway it is done now...


whilst i am at it...the new speed bumps on red post hill are so wide and hard...I can't take this anymore!


i started to take the bus to work but my journey is 30 minutes longer and costs more that running my car so I have abandoned this. maybe i should dust off the bike for my commute and pray for safe journeys.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
