Inspiring people - Improving places

-

- Posted in the daily “Burton Joyce Blog” in the latter part of last year twere a couple of postings describing the adverse appearance of the Old School grounds located in the most significant spot within B J Village centre.

The historic School Building and adjacent grounds is currently the base for the BTCV an organisation committed to Inspiring people - Improving places. Their stated aim is graphically publicised on the Organisation’s vehicles.

Why is it then, that the organisation has little or no pride in its own “home” ? Why is it they do not try a little harder here on their own doorstep? Why is it that from as early as the middle of last year, these grounds have been allowed to deteriorate ?. Yes, even if of late, there has been some effort to improve the situation, why is it that shrub and hedge cuttings/rubbish are left around in heaps.Why is it that the run-down hideous prefabricated “classroom”, which should have been demolished or replaced for some time now, is not given the attention it (together with the straggly shrubs presumably left to hide the eye-sore) and the village deserve.

Is there any pressing reason why this BTCV area cannot be open to the BJ village community to enjoy and pass time of the day, particularly in the nice weather ? It could also improve the frontage area of the School ( presumably part of the old playground area) if several collections of plants/flowers in containers could be included to create more colour and generally improve this bland and stark area.

Our village deserves a more caring attitude yet why should an organisation which openly promotes itself as Inspiring people - Improving places actually be blind to its own environment
