This photo of the one-year old development was taken by Cllr. Hamish Pollock on 26th February 2013.

Four houses were built in the ground of one former detached house (the original no. 40 Coleridge Avenue built by “Edser & Brown” – a typical “cottage-style detached house” in the 1920s period) at the junction of Coleridge Avenue with Shirley Avenue.  The fence on the right hand side of the photo is an acoustic fence designed to reduce the adverse affect of noise and disturbance on the occupants at no. 38 Coleridge Avenue behind.

Hamish worked with the then fellow councillors to support numerous local residents’ when they objected to these houses being given planning permission a few years’ ago.

We hope the planting to the enormous flower beds will be carried out soon….and we have asked planning officers to look into the matter as the houses have been occupied now for some time. 

More in a future posting….
