Aldershot - September 2015 | |
A town that deserves better..... | |
York Road Depot....... | |
On one day in September 2015 I spent a couple of hours making my way in and around the Town Centre. It came home to me how many things were wrong, I have listed six here, there are many more. After the completion of the West Gate Development we were told it would be the start of a new beginning, new investment would come to the Town regretfully we have not seen much of that. Some improvements to the Town centre roads have come via the County Council but Rushmore Borough Council and its Aldershot Councillors appear to have gone to sleep. I am told the Council have new environmental powers under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. I find that a bit hard to beleave but I do have a letter from a Rushmoor Borough Council Environmental Health Officer implying it does have environmental powers under the above act. Therefore what Rushmoor Borough Council and its Aldershot Councillors need to do is wake up and smell the coffee |

Depot in York Road at T junction with The Warren (Road). | |
As you can see this depot has not been used for many years. I love the tree growing out of the brickwork maybe the Council can put a preservation order on it? |
|
Aldershot Rail & Bus Station. | |
This yard next to the station it has been like this for years, as you exit the entrance to the station you look left and there it is! What an advert for Aldershot! |
|
Rail station yard | |
Just down from the rail station is our Bus station looking very tired these days. |
Aldershot Bus Station |
I took a picture of the bus shelter which you see, if you look at the plastic panes I doubt if they have ever been cleaned they are filthy and that is being polite. | |
York Crescent | |
Look at the pot holes and the general state of this unmade up road. Rushmoor Council if they were really interested in the environment in Aldershot they would build a proper road for the residents. No money? Rushmoor Council has forty million pounds in reserves and correct me if I am wrong did not the Council take a 2 million pound + profit out of the West Gate development when it was completed? |

High Street.... | |
Empty shops in decay another great advert for Aldershot. | |
I asked about and was told it has been like this for about 2 years. On one of the gateways to Aldershot, what the hell is going on? Of course it's only Aldershot it seems all they worry about is a little scaffolding on private land. |
|
Damage to railings at the Naafi roundabout in Wellington Street. | |
Albert Road empty office block. | |
This building has been like this for years, all that happens is ever increasing decay. Although located in Albert Road, Windsor Way the main road to the Rail and Bus stations is just a few yards away from this building. Any individual thinking of investing in Aldershot is confronted with this decaying building with its broken windows when driving along Windsor Way. Another great advert for Aldershot. |
