Its been a long time since I last wrote anything on this Blog. A lot has happened. A new play park has been created near Slades Farm, we now have a splendid velodrome and even a dog exercise area! The fences have been removed from around the skate park and signs have sprung up reminding us that access to the woods is a privilege - not a right and can be removed at any time. Some footpaths have been improved and a new tenant has taken over the horse paddocks.
As far as development goes, well.....the Secretary if State has 'called in' the proposed development behind the University. The severed gardens adjacent to Alton Road remain undeveloped and the top horse paddock behind the graveyard, is, I am assured, absolutely safe from any development. I called the Planning Dept at Bournemouth Town Hall and was advised that a 'Local Plan' precluded any development of the paddock but did allow some other sites.
