Permits have been granted by the Council for the batching plant for the ground consolidation works to be sited at the top of Nithsdale Rd. The plant will be directly outside numbers 1-13 Nithsdale Rd (essentially the current turning circle at the end of the street). There is a sign to this effect on a bollard at the end of the street but residents have not had much luck finding out more details.

The permit is in force from now until May 11th next year – but here’s hoping that’s a generous allowance for any difficulties plus the reinstatement works. And you never know, maybe once it’s all over we’ll get our lovely summer planters back.
