It should not be beyond the wit of man to get a cherry picker organised to go the length of the High Street and clear the rooftops of weeds within a couple of days. Many businesses are struggling and the appearance of the town centre to the economy is important. Well done to Mosh for what he has done to the frontage at the Bay of Bengal.

The railings however contain old lead paint that has to be contained, hence the tenting and time to do it properly.

We'll have to see what the finish is like. jayteescot1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11240392651168819167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10213884.post-82356088448736068132012-10-29T17:59:16.267+00:002012-10-29T17:59:16.267+00:00great to this is being done at long last, ...great to this is being done at long last, well over due hope the high street get's some paint as well before the summer time, and the roof gardens get a shift.growtosownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10213884.post-21013366412423804472012-10-29T17:34:56.897+00:002012-10-29T17:34:56.897+00:00The problem is must things are overkill to stop le...The problem is must things are overkill to stop legal problems from happening e.g. they getting sued.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10213884.post-56540770309282771582012-10-29T16:57:36.460+00:002012-10-29T16:57:36.460+00:00Bit of overkill isn’t.
