Lofts etc
Today I am back in work, after a busy weekend of furniture buying and general house planning. All very exciting. The delivery of the white good spassed with only moderate difficulties. Apparently we have plumbing “issues” which will mean the hiring of somebody who knows more about pipes than I do, to make the dishwasher work.
As well as the house, I dealt with ward issues over the weekend. First off there was a sewage leak down Clifton Road, which I was alerted to on Friday night. This is a United Utilities issue rather than a Council issue, but I chased it up over the weekend in conjunction with the resident concerned, and I am hopeful that the engineers will sort out the problem today.
Also, I heard from a resident of Sherbourne Court that she was having a problem with squirrels in her loft space. Apparently they are being very noisy (probably storing nuts…). I have been talking to Pest Control about the problem, and to Six Town Housing about whether or not it is up to the tenant or STH to pay the charge.
Lofts have also been on my personal agenda, since we’re having the new one boarded. I have got a guy to come and install a ladder, which will hopefully minimize the currently-quite-high possibility of me tumbling to my death whilst attempting to access the roof space.
Tonight it’s the Bury Holocaust Memorial Service in Radclifee, so I’ll be going to that. I will report back tomorrow on what I’m sure will be an excellent and moving ceremony in which all of our diverse community can take part.
