 This monstrous great concrete and glass box that dominates the skyline and provides a picture window to all the neighboring gardens was not required to go through planning consent by Rushcliffe Borough Council. Because it contains concrete and glass the planners deemed that the construction was broadly similar to that of the beams and stucco of the Edwardian frontage. Nor was creation of a 2nd floor deemed to be a significant change in the shape of the roof. The local residents were not given the opportunity to comment, still less object and the build went ahead under permitted development.

 I think from this point forward we can assume that no one in Bridgford will have to concern themselves with planning consent for any development.

 The cast iron drinking fountain which was hugely popular when I were a lad is still in place but is now surrounded by shrubbery and it is no longer functioning. Given contemporary concerns regarding the use of bottled water I wonder if anyone on the Council will have the good sense to return it to full functionality. Harumph! I somehow doubt it.
-Most of the old park benches have been replaced over  the years with the latest incarnation being all metal, presumably some light weight alloy, structures but there is is still at least one old West Bridgford UDC cast iron affair left. Some of the slats have been broken out and I do wonder whether it will be survive to be restored to its former glory or if it will be replace with one of utilitarian all metal affairs.

 The gates are supposed to be open between dawn and dusk but the process is very unreliable.
