On Tuesday June the 10th, a pretty
big and ugly looking makeshift billboard (as pictured above) appeared in Roughwood
woods - near the wildflowers. The sign, as can be seen above, proclaims that
Knowsley Housing Trust are "Working with our partners to deliver lasting improvements
to our communities" Really? Check this report for the so called KHT improvements a
stones-throw from the Billboard.
Did this stupid idea have planning permission?
On Wednesday the 11th the sign mysteriously disappeared. Perhaps
the Housing Trust realised that it was a stupid idea, and maybe it's possible
that planning permission was needed to actually put up a Billboard. Furthermore
- it may well be a danger to motorists who may well have strained to read what this
Biilboard said - a lot of people may have thought KHT were planning to sell the woods off,
Knowsley Council certainly have there eyes on portions of these woods.
More money wasted
No doubt this sign cost a few pounds to actually make - plus the labour to
actually put it up. What a stupid idea. Thanks to Knowsley Housing Trust
for yet another waste of time space and money.
The 'partners' mentioned on the Billboard are Cameron Industrial Services Ltd. If they are the firm currentely building walls in Northwood
they have an article coming soon - not a good one either!
