Another Pile of Bricks

[basil]

what i remember as the laundry on crooked bridge road appears to be no more. i passed the scene earllier and noted that the demolition squad had been at work. i couldn't take a long view of it as i was in my little jalopey and i like to keep my eyes on the road, also being a bit of an amber gambler i was somewhat tanking it. now i know there is major works going on further into the hospital grounds but does anyone have a reliable update on works in progress? yes i can already here some of you saying 'do it yourself ' ..'go and investigate basil' ...and i probably will as it's the sort of thing i'm pretty good at. i just thought that in the meantime someone would have info, .....

... no doubt I don't have to remind you, but I do hope that you will remember to only try to elucidate information from those in the higher orders. We don't want a repeat of that last encounter with the labouring classes, now, do we?

 

[basil]

would it be pertinent to say i was on official forum buisness as that may open some doors ...

 

[Gramaisc]

... but they may be doors with a little peep-hole and no key-hole in the inside.

basil, do you mnd not "tanking it" and "amber gambling" next to the school my offspring attend? I'll have a little shuffty at the site tomorrow and report back.

occupational hazard.....

How many times have your kids walked on Crooked Bridge Road - and were there any schools in that 30 limit in Nottingham?

Racing car driver, are you?

In all fairness your offspring should be aware of the dangers of the road...

yes but i think it would be fair for them to assume a given set of parameters (e.g. a 20mph limit) rather than have to calculate all possible outcomes for every possible eventuality lol..

or, more simply: they're kids.. i think it's fair for them to expect not to be run over lol.. i love driving fast, but trying to excuse speeding near a school is just ridiculous..

Ah no i'm all in favour for slow zones around schools, in fact i think we shoud dig up all cameras which arn't out side schools / other instututions of vunerable people and place them outside these institutions, but the fact still stands kids should be aware and the slow zone should be a backup plan, belt and braces if you will.

It must have been knocked down at least a year ago. I think there was plans to build houses on the site, seem to remember something in one of the local papers about them having to supply a number of affordable homes there as part of the deal.

 

[basil]

good to see we're back on the thread,now if am undertaking to do risky work in the field surely i should receive my point back.....

 

[Gramaisc]

.... I gave you that point and I'm not having it taken away by the sort of person who probably doesn't even have a suit. There, it's back now.

 

[basil]

i thank you i shall wear it with pride...

 

[Gramaisc]

... until some oik steals it again.

The top end of the site, nearest to crooked bridge road there is currently a planning application in from Pritchard's for a development which includes a halls of residence for students.

At this point I was going to supply a link to the Borough Council's planning site, but it's erroring at the moment.

 

[basil]

That's the bit i was refering to probably a 10-15 min bike ride from the university...

 

[Confused]

This is in addition to a similar application up at the Polyversity itself.

I feel for the good people of Crooked Bridge Road. But maybe Littleworth residents will get some peace now? Now's not a good time to get in to landlording for student houses. There's going to be nearly 600 rooms to fill if these two applications get permisson.

 

[basil]

Blimey where do all these scholars live at the moment?....
