Planning Applications
1. Corner of Outram Rd and MUlberry Lane – 2 applications
2. MENTA – the contraversial development with great features but proposing a 55 story residential Vertical Community!!??? – Please write and say NO to the 55 story and yes to teh erst. See below.
LOTS GOING on at the two corners of Mulberry Lane and Outram Road!!!
Both corners of this small and narrow road at the heart of our residents’ association are having developers trying to maximise their profit. We do want both improved, however what is being proposed would created 10 flats where there on top of the 2 new houses just being completed.
New trees
Following a request from us, the Council have
replaced some trees last year and this winter. As they are newly planted, they will need watering in dry and/or hot weather.
Please would anyone offer to do that? Please
could you let Mira or Ellen know know if you would.
Wildlife at H.O.M.E.
A small deer has been spotted crossing Canning Rd. This was seen by someone who we know does not normally drink or hallucinate!!!
We would like to build a library of photos and stories of wildlife in our area.
In Havelock Road, west side, there is a Mrs Fox with three baby cubs. We have also a badger crossing from east side to west side – have you got a photo you can share?
RSPCA wildlife scientist, Sophie Adwick, said:
“Spring can be a magical time for wildlife and the keen eye can spot all kinds of
wonders, from badger and fox cubs taking their first daring steps above ground, to
fledglings peeping out from the undergrowth.
It is wonderful to see baby animals in
the wild, however every year our centres are inundated with young animals after people,
with the best of intentions, believe them to be orphaned or abandoned and bring them
in.
We would ask the public to do all they can to help animals during this time, this
includes leaving baby animals alone. Our advice is that if you see a lone baby animal,
unless it is obviously injured, monitor the situation from afar; the likelihood is
that it does not need rescuing.
