Land Handover
January 1st, 2007 by Administrator
The issue of the land (public areas) transfer from David Wilson Homes (DWH) to Rushcliffe Borough Council is still ongoing. Of particular concern is the lack of maintenance of the trees and shrubs which are in very poor condition and also the state of the pergolas which are deteriorating at an alarming rate. Over the last six months Georgia Moore (Vice Chair of the Radcliffe-on-Trent Parish Council) has been lobbying on the residents behalf with the Borough Council to get them to take over the care of the site before any further deterioration occurs
As part of the original agreement DWH are required to pay a large sum to the Council on transfer of the land. As no date was specified in the agreement over when the land must transfer we are left in a position, where in theory at least, a handover might never occur. Through Georgia’s lobbying the Borough Council have now assigned a senior officer to review the position and try to move the adoption forward.
