Linden Homes, Ever Wondered What Happens to loads of new spare bricks?

Linden Homes, Ever Wondered What Happens to loads of new spare bricks?

Nothing very green?



Unused new bricks and tiles are unpacked and disposed in skips.
Not very green and surely not that cost effective?

I still can't see how Cllr Lucas and her side kick's description of Ghetto
can be applied to this development.

I don't think the site looks that bad, Linden Homes could have
built a blot if they had built in the same ugly style of the site not
far from St Albans Station.

I stumbled across a former Tory Councillor, I guess they were
looking to invest some of their cash.

Strangely they hid when they spotted me?









There are now some shared ownership homes on offer

New builds do go up quickly, some one said to me only yesterday they did not even see the old school go.

Cllr Maureen Dodds a Oakham Town Councillor said she has be told the front row of these houses looking out onto Cold Overton Road, will be given to immigrants. She said residents in the area up to Mendip Close are very unhappy with this possibility. I myself saw nothing in the plans to suggest any part of this development would become social housing, but that does not stop any developer at a later stage selling part or all of a development to a social landlord.

The demolition of the old Catmose College is due to start very soon, security fences have been erected.
I noticed one small change to the developers sign. The site no longer advertises Stamford Homes. I wonder if this is due to Cllr Alf Dewis stating they build shoddy building and Cllrs Lucas and Haworth saying they did not want a Stamford Homes Ghetto on thier doorstep. The sign now advertises Linden Homes this company is part of the same group owned by Galliford Try Homes Group

Below is the old Stamford homes sign.
