Their is obviously a Lunatic on the loose in this building…. need to get the dope head before the whole place goes up in flames!
If its the building next to the old british legion not really a surprise. Been the centre of almost continual drug dealing and asb for more than 3 years, building is in a dreadful state, police are there on a regular basis. Council are aware but won’t do anything about it, instead you just get a constant stream of excuses as to why they can’t do anything. Basically they’re too afraid to go in and inspect it. A local councillor has tried to get some action the response from the head of housing was the usual mix of wall paper and weasel words. ( they cover cracks and are easy to talk around at a later date)
That’s a bigger picture than meets the eye why are people so hell bent on causing this town to burn yet according. Council officers pull your fingers out. I will help you to if it bothers you that much we need to protect our community
