"Hi,
I own the The Lodge and we notified the council months ago of the deteriorated gates and the danger they pose to pedestrians (esp school children) who use the gates. Yesterday some workers came to tac-weld the panels below and only tac’d…"
"Really appreciate your help Matt. I wonder what the issue is and who actually owns the land. If it’s the council I’m sure our esteemed local councillor will able to answer all our questions! I’ll enquire at the Library on Saturday…"
"And just in from Richmond Libraries: "The path from Hampton Library, via The Lodge, to the A308, Upper Sunbury Road, will be closed until further notice. We'll let you know when it reopens. Please use the Beard's Hill path in the…"
