Can you believe the car parks are still closed!
Despite some litter clearance and the pumping out of water from the Car Parks - they are still not open to the public!

Many of you will remember that I had written a very stiff planning enforcement enquiry that resulted in a deadline for the reinstatement of the Richmond Estate car parks by May 6th (click here). This did not transpire and may well have deterred many of you from voting for the Green Party in the recent elections.
We have been as bemused as yourselves and have since the elections continued to campaign for the restoration of the subterranean facilities.
I have been advised that the excess water has now been pumped out of the car parks and that much of the litter and bulky waste has been removed. However, we find it totally unacceptable that they have not completed the required works.
All is not bad news and we have received confirmation form a Chief Planning officer that a letter is to be sent out to George Wimpey today, that will demand completion of the works in 14 days. The officer said:
"My apologies for the delay in replying,but I had to discuss this matter with Mr Romain. I have written to the Management company today and given them 14 days to re-open the parking or we will proceed with a Breach of Condition Notice."
Thanks for the work.
