we use the plastic bowl for glass and seperate our own recycling into platsic carrier bags. Although they say they don't accept carrier bags we have not had any complaints from the bin men. We just put the filled bag straight into the bin. It won't smell because you are supposed to wash the recycling before disposal. Remember they have threaten more…

Not us.
I don't understand why they want us to just throw all the recycling stuff together in the same bin without any attempt to keep paper, metal and plastic separate. I can't believe they're going to employ someone to try and sort it all out afterwards, so it can be recycled.
There are bound to be some plonkers who put general waste more…

Really sorry to hear that, Paul.
I, for one, thought you were doing a really good job and, as I said in my response to the East Kent Gazette, I thought you were very unfairly treated by that paper.
I wonder if anyone else fancies taking on the job you started. I know I don't.
All the best,
Gilb & Von more…

Sorry about the concrete monsters people !
I am trying to arrange a meeting with Swale Council tomorrow (Monday 2nd) to arrange to get the "Knee Bar" fencing from side to side between No1 Raite Green and No 10 Amethyst Drive.
I realise that the tubes are unsightly but I assure you they ARE only very temporary and at least they wont Urin more…

Then again, some bijou concrete monstrosities might be nice to make it quite clear we're living in Beirut, and definitely not somewhere desirable. I wonder how much our new landscaping will knock off the price of the houses for sale on Amethyst Drive. more…

An excellent effort by all. A big thankyou for organising it. more…

Sorry James. Thought we were still talking about the ones by the old Redrow site office. We hadn't seen the ones on our play area as we always leave the estate on foot by tunneling under the fence by the big skip onto Quinton Road.
I assume the way to stop them getting vehicles onto the play area is to put up some of those wooden barrier thin more…

Thing is though, James, they came in down the footpath from the B2006, didn't they?
I don't want Bovis puttng another b****y fence up around us and blocking off yet another footpath. Pretty soon, the only way out of here will be via Gillingham. more…

Hello?
Does no-one else agree with me and Wendy about Bovis & Redrow plaguing us with their heavy plant and delivery lorries, and persisting in fencing off access to our houses, or is it just that no-one is visiting the Blog? more…

Has any body reported the gypsies to the police yet, I will today!! I hope the council can get a court order very sooon and Bovis secure whatever entrance they used to enter the site more…

In response to: "Welcome " 882 days old

I totally agree with you! I am sick of Bovis ferrying their crap down Amethyst to that skip! There's no reason why their Heavy Plant has to keep going up and down past our houses now - other than to get to this skip. They should have made provision on the current site to put this skip - I suppose it's because they have crammed so many properties more…

Pedestrian Access to the Estate

Are we the only ones, or is anyone else getting more than a little frustrated at the ongoing lack of pedestrian access.
Bovis have built a footpath at the north end of Bismuth Drive onto Quinton Road, by the traffic lights, bu more…

I hope you told the BMW driver where to get off (As a BMW driver it says it all and he wont be stupid enough to buy an exhaust for £3000 again). Speed bump are designed to go over slowly. you will only damage you car if your going overthem fast.
if they really want to kick up a stink about the bump them i am sure we can do more…

some redrow residents have been complaining about the speed ramp. Apparantly redrow told its residents that it shouldn`t be there? One person in particular driving a bmw black or blue in colour even went as far knocking on my door and advising me that its damaging his vehicle and his exhaust costs £3000 (yeah right.) Unfortuantly this guy now re more…

Hi All

in regards to redrow access in bismuth drive, if there was to be a block access on the plans with the council, and as this is not been done then they are breaking their planning application (paul whats your view on this?). also i think we should park in awkard positions on the road to slow cars down as i have noticed cars commin more…

Hi all,
Has everyone noticed the yellow signs that have been put up today - (7th June) directing Redrow 'Customers' down Amethyst Drive along Bismuth and into their new Dubut Site! It said on their website a few weeks ago that the development was totally sold out - so 'Customers' should read - 'Resident's' - as there's no more selling to do! more…

Hi People
Just to let you all know, I am going to put a "Speed Bump" type ramp in Bismuth drive just our side of the Redrow "Debut" Site to try to physically slow down the drivers Entering and Exiting there.
Some of them do not seem to understand what 10 MPH means, so a little more drastic measures seem to be neccesary.
If any of more…

Re- the travellers in the trees,

Hi all,

Hi Ken

Thanks for letting me know! Im afraid that I had to pop return to sender on the parcels and put them back in the post, as I had waited for a couple of weeks incase someone came to claim them, but noone did.

Thanks

Re- the travellers in the trees,

I have reported them to the Police on Sunday, ref 20-0735

I said they were blocking a right of way etc. The policeman on duty was not exactly enthused!!

I hope they will be gone by Bank Holiday! more…

Further to my reply yesterday
The land which these people are occupying is owned by Redrow Homes.
This makes it a bit more difficult for the Police because it becomes a Civil action of Trespass and Redrow have to take Legal Action.I have called their M.D. today aned his secretary assures me that Legal Proceedings have been started.If an more…

Hi Dan & Jo
I have reported this to Kent Police,although I am SURE they must have already known about it.
I have asked that it be bought to the notice of Sergeant Darren Ryder who usually deals Very Swiftly with these Undesirables
For your info the incident number for this report was 21/1651.
It may seem pointless but if more…

Hi Siobhan,

JUst get a packet of 'weed and feed' from the garden centre or Homebas and sprinkle it on. You'll need to water it in after a few days if it doesn't rain. Repeat every couple of months during the growing season, and even the bald paches should be covered up quite quickly. If they're too big, you may have to resort to a bit more…
