“They are coming home”. The main phase of the shelters restoration is now well under way and Thursday of last week saw the return of a refurbished frame for the second of the three shelters East of the Granville Theatre.
Other renovated frames will be following in the
very near future. Work is happening on all the shelters, with only the two on
the Paragon awaiting highway restriction agreements before they can be removed for
a similar treatment.
BREAKING NEWS
The large shelter on
Government Acre will be officially opened for public use on Friday 27th
April at 1pm. A mystery guest
will be cutting the ribbon and declaring it open for use once again. Any
guesses who he or she is?

DeleteToo obvious they would be the first names to appear but no - not a local politician.

ReplyDeleteThe best way forward with any disused listed structure is to find a suitable use for it. Winterstoke Gardens is a great place which needs TLC and a reason for existence, I mean no dis-respect to Dame Janet in that remark, but at the moment it only encourages "hanging around" and the inevitable graffiti and vandalism.
