If you criticise (because it is mainly an area populated by asians) then the cry of 'Racist' goes up...........I don't care who owns the properties along this stretch of road.....they could be sky blue pink for me......they should be made to maintain the area properly.......there are areas like this in what were once affluent and well maintained places in our town....that have now become rundown and horrible......and don't tell me it is because they haven't had money spent on them because they have...grants galore.

I am not sure as its not something I have any experience in. I keep myself busy and useful with my charity work.
I think the properties should be maintained by the owners. If they allow the property to become an eyesore they should be instructed by the Council to sort it out. If this is not possible at present then the Council should make it possible with byelaws or whatever.
I dont like public money improving private property for the financial gain of the owner.
Maybe speak with our MP and the Local Councillors for the area and find out what can be done and why it is not being done.
