The brakes are still on the renovations to the old Stanton Wagon which is stationed on the traffic island at the bottom of Chalons Way, Ilkeston. It remains in a parlous state despite several assurances of imminent action. The wagon has that see-through look much like the Black Pearl of Pirates fame. Local Labour Councillors have raised the issue in the Council Chamber and by e-mail and have received promises but still no action has resulted.
A SAD SIGHT |
I have sent in another "request for service" to Erewash and I trust other people will do the same. What should be a symbol of the Town's proud past is now a symptom of Erewash Borough's contempt for Ilkeston. Either this wagon should be given a decent burial or proper maintenance before it's too late.
