Worcester County Council promised that work on the replacement wall in Market Street would be completed by Christmas. Well depending on your definition of completed then after 163 days it possibly is!

fair play to the contractors they done a good job if you notice there is work now in place at the hairdressers different contractors
Saw the (unfinished) wall when I was visiting parents over the holidays. I was wondering whether all the big tubes along the bottom were to let water out or in!
The "big tubes" are to let water out into the brook in the event of another flash flood. They have non return valves on the brook side of the wall so water shouldn't be able to flow from the brook to the street.
The original wall also had similar valves but they had rusted shut through lack of maintenance!
This blog is an eclectic collection of my thoughts and concerns. Some subjects are brought to my attention by others who feel this blog is a good conduit for communication. I am a volunteer for a number of local organisations, but I do NOT write on their behalf. I do not pretend to talk on behalf of any organisation or the community. There are people who share some of my views, and others that do not. If you do not like what you read here, find another blog to read, or better still write your own.
"I am not a sheep, I have my own mind. I am fed up with being told what and how to think? Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech, I will speak out."
I think I agree with that.
This Blog is my snapshot of what is happening locally.
Whether you view me as an activist, a mischief maker, a nutter, an irritant, or a recorder of social history probably depends on your position and point of view.

At least they've done *something* now though!
