Property Development Project - Day 82

The old house is on a corner between two roads. The minor road is used by mothers and children, both to walk into the town centre and to go between the junior and infants schools at dropping off and picking up times.

The reason for mentioning this is an unexpected problem.

The official public notice that has to remain up for the three-week consultation period is torn down by some passing child and then trampled in the road.

I manage to rescue it but the information is scarcely legible. The last thing I want is for this to provide an excuse to start the consultation period again so I scan into my PC the heading of the notice with the Council’s logo and reconstruct the remainder of it.

I print it off and then go and purchase some green photocopy paper.

I run off a number of copies and seal two of them in plastic wallets.

One I put up on the fence where the last one was and another I put on a tree that is out of reach but still visible from the road.

I take a photo with the time and date just in case anyone seeks to make an issue out of this.

I also phone the Planning Department to let them know what I have done. They are quite used to the situation and indeed seem grateful that I have taken the bother to sort it out.
