A DILAPIDATED house which hasn’t been lived in since 1987 has finally been made secure and the owner has promised neighbours it will be renovated ‘within the next six months’.
The house on Cemetery Road is one of three abandoned properties featured in the Chronicle over the last few weeks. All three had become a nuisance to neighbours and were a blight on their streets.
Shaun Silcock owns a house next door to the Cemetery Road property and said he was very pleased to see the eyesore property finally being tackled.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
