ILKESTON ISLAND EYESORE


ILKESTON ISLAND EYESORE
 A railway wagon placed on a traffic island in Ilkeston to celebrate Erewash heritage has been left to rot by Tory run Erewash Borough Council. All the wagon needed was some tender loving care but now it has rotted and needs a major renovation. Labour have tried to force the Council to act but still the Tories have dragged their feet. Meanwhile this reminder of Erewash's industrial past is fading away.
The Council shows a blatant contempt for Ilkeston and the state of this wagon is a graphic example of why Erewash needs to be wrested from the strangling grip of Erewash Conservatives.

  1. I did a photoshoot with Glenis here a number of years ago, highlighting the same issue, disgusting how it has been left to decay.
