It was always temporary housing of the hostel sort for homeless families.
It always was a sh1thole
My mum knew a woman over 20 yrs ago who had the misfortune of being placed there and it was appaling then, time doesnt seem to have improve it.

Excellent - and we can pop in and have a cup of coffee and a pastry safe in the knowledge that: 1. We wont be bumping into those who have made a declaration on this site to boycott it. 2. We will be supporting a small business trying to make a go of it in a very uncertain economic climate. That's w...

Bit of an invasion IMHO
Im with Annie I think it is wrong to take ans post publicly pictures of people without their permission. A person may simply not want their picture taken...they may not want their pic taken when they are not 'at their best' so to speak and an unposed pic of a mature lady in a wheelchair would fit th...

Coll However, a friend suggested we leaflet the area. I’m willing to contribute to the cost of printing and will put some time aside to distribute them if someone will create a document. I would suggest a pic of the old and the new and a brief description of why this business should be boycotted, or...

I think this transformation is indicating that the shop could look far more tasteful if all the crappy plastic boxes werent outside it, i think that was partly why it looked cheap and this shows how shops can remain selling pretty much the same goods but from a desireable looking shop in a clean cu...

:D Oh leaf one more thing------------do you pay for 1 meal or 2? I ask because you seem to expect seconds for nothing? If you want to pay for extra i am sure that could be arranged. I pay for one meal of course. My oldest child is at secondary school so i have experience of school dinners going bac...

of course it isn't. Are you implying people are stopped and searched because they are black? If you have experienced this then why don't you make a complaint? Or could you provide any evidence that this happens aside from your dubious assertions? Are you serious? have you been living under a rock??...
