Bedford Road car crash spectacular

There are some days when you can be glad that your car's having its MOT and not parked in its usual spot...

(no one was hurt by the way... the driver was just a bit surprised to suddenly be hooning off a speed bump and gliding along on her side.)

What's left of the Bedford Road loo

Now this shows that stuff can be done. This was a really horrible public bog that sat, squat and unpleasant at the top of my road. There was always loads of druggie types hanging around there, and it obscured the car-park behind making it a great place for bad things to happen.

Hats off then to Cllrs Reardon and Gladstone, two Labour activists in the Borough who have done the near impossible and got the thing pulled down.
