Lib Dem action leads to Marlborough Rd garage site clearance

As a result of a recent suggestion by local Liberal Democrat Councillors in Rokeby and Overslade an abandoned site that long ago contained garages is being cleared of vegetation by the Council.

The work is being done to allow topographical and geotechnical surveys to be undertaken in connection with the future use of the land.

The site has been neglected and has become overgrown. Local Councillors for the area have called out the Community and Safety Wardens on many occasions to deal with anti-social behaviour on the site.

Councillor Bill Lewis and others first brought this neglected site to the Council's attention in 2012.

Local Liberal Democrats hope that following the investigations beneficial use for the land can be found and it can benefit the community.
